Amontillado is a very unique wine, combining the ageing under a veil of flor, typical of Fino and Manzanilla, with a subsequent period in which the veil of flor disappears and the wine is exposed to oxidation. Made from Palomino grapes, this fusion of aging makes Amontillados extraordinarily complex and interesting wines.
Amontillado Romate Wine
Amontillado Wine is one of the Sherry wines which combines the aging of Fino and Manzanilla, that is, the aging under a veil of flor, with a later period in which the veil of flor disappears and the wine is exposed to oxidation. These amontillado wines are complex and interesting, as they are made from palomino grapes.
The color of this wine ranges from topaz to amber. When we talk about its aroma, we say that it is subtle and delicate, containing an ethereal base softened by aromas of nuts (hazelnuts) and vegetables reminiscent of aromatic herbs and black tobacco.
This wine has a friendly entry into the mouth and a balanced acidity; Its development is complex and suggestive, highlighting a dry finish and a long aftertaste in which the notes of nuts and wine-soaked wood return.
Production and Aging of Amontillado Romate Wine
The production comes from the complete fermentation of Palomino grape musts, and Amontillado is a special and unique wine, since it is achieved through the union of two types of aging, biological and oxidative. It is precisely because of this combination of aging phases that amontillado wines are distinguished by their depth and character.
Their particular aging process begins, as in the case of finos and manzanillas, with an initial phase under a veil of flor; over the first few years in the criaderas the wine acquires sharp notes and accentuates its dry palate. After a certain point, the disappearance of the flor causes a second phase of oxidative aging, which will gradually darken the wine and give it concentration and complexity. These changes in the aging process are what give Amontillado wines their unique personality.
Did you know?
Depending on how the balance of the wine has been achieved during the two stages of production, some Amontillados have a paler colour and present very sharp notes and many hints of yeast, due to having been aged for longer with yeast. Others, however, are dominated by notes of oxidative aging, spices and wood, characteristics that make Amontillado wines so diverse in their sensory profile.
