Amontillado
is a very special kind of sherry wine, which you could say begins as a Fino but
at some point it tends to Oloroso. It results from the fusion of two different
styles of ageing: the characteristic biological ageing under the flor and the oxidative ageing, both of
them by the solera system. This
Amontillado of El Maestro Sierra follows a process of 12 years before being
bottled. It a very elegant subtle and complex wine and matches perfectly with
smoked salmon. El Maestro Sierra is an ancient high quality sherry producer
from the city of Jerez, that was designated among the Top100 wineries of 2011
of the world by the renowned Wine & Spirits magazine. They craft their
different styles of sherries under a very accurate way, trying always to offer
their wines as fresh as possible.
