NV Barbadillo Amontillado en Rama "Criadera", Jerez, Spain
There are 4 units left in stock.
ABOUT THE WINE
A dry, savory Sherry made from 100% Palomino in the Jerez region of Andalucía. Selected from the historic Mil Pesetas cellar in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, it develops through both biological ageing under flor and oxidative ageing in American-oak casks, using the traditional criaderas y solera system. Bottled en rama with minimal filtration, it retains a vivid sense of its cellar-aged character.
The palate is focused and textured, finishing long, dry, and savory. At 19% alcohol, serve lightly chilled in a white wine glass. It makes an excellent aperitif and pairs especially well with jamón, aged cheeses, toasted almonds, and seafood.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Founded in 1821, Bodegas Barbadillo is one of the historic names of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, at the heart of Spain’s Sherry country. They are known for their deep library of traditional soleras and their close involvement in the winemaking process, from vineyard sourcing through cellar aging and bottling.
The Amontillado’s aging takes place in Mil Pesetas, a cellar within an eighteenth-century complex in the historic San Blas neighborhood. Barbadillo began oxidative ageing Amontillado there in 1920. This combination of place, biological ageing, and careful oxidative development gives the wine its layered nutty, saline, and savory profile.
