Fortified Wine

Intensely Amber coloured. Balanced notes of toasted almonds, dried figs and raisins, with delicate hints of vanilla and wood on the nose. Soft, dry and moderately spicy.

Light, pale, fresh, crisp, a delightful summer aperitif, and like the Inocente, should be tried with fish, which it accompanies much better than many of the classic matches (Chablis, Sancerre etc...).

Aged eight years under a natural layer of 'flor' yeast, and given a further eight years of 'oxidative' ageing prior to being blended with a small amount of Pedro Ximenez before bottling. This superior Amontillado is inte...(read more)

The best PX available. So rich, so sweet and yet so moreish. (Must be tried poured over ice cream with raisins soaked overnight in PX)
