88 Points - "The sweetness buffers the tang in this round, accessible Sherry, whose white pepper, chocolate and nut flavors are moderately concentrated." -Wine Spectator

TASTING NOTES:
Amontillado Sherry takes its name from the Montilla region of Spain where it was originally produced. Amontillado is darker in color and has a richer flavor than Fino Sherry. Amontillados have intense, nutty aromas, are almost always dry and possess a slightly sweet finish. This particular Amontillado has been gently sweetened with a small amount of Pedro Ximinez wine.

It is best served lightly chilled. Pair it with soups, chowders and bisques. Amontillado is also wonderful with appetizers, salted nuts and mild, dry cheeses.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Founded in 1730, the Domecq winery is easily one of the most romantic in Spain. The bodega is called "La Mezquita" (The Mosque). It has whitewashed walls and Moorish arches. The winery is one of the oldest commercial sherry producers in its region.

The Domecq winery is known for both its innovation and consistent quality. The winery is a great destination for tourists interested in wine as its cellars are beautiful and its wines are of such a high quality. (close)
