The Alexandro Amontillado Sherry is a dynamic rendition for the famous ‘middle ground’ of Sherry consumption. Starting its life just like Fino, it comes from only the Palomino grape, which fermented in stainless steel to result in an 11% wine that was then fortified with neutral grape brandy to 15%. This alcohol degree, combined with the climate of the region, and the old giant cellars of barrels (Criadera systems) in Jerez, come together to create the perfect condition for the famous ‘flor’ yeast to appear on top of the aging Sherry. After some time biologically aging, the Sherry is fortified again up to 17% in order to kill off the yeast, and then continues its aging in an oxidative fashion. Once filtered and bottled, this exquisite Sherry is ready for enjoyment. Still very dry in character with the classic and lean influence of its time under Flor, the time it spent oxidizing gives it a round and lovely aroma, texture, and flavor. Sea-spray, earthy mushrooms, hazelnuts, and brine are showcased aromatically and on the palate, letting the Sherry lean more towards interesting food pairings such as white meats, fatty fish, and complex cheeses.
