Valdespino Amontillado Medium Contrabandista

"95% Palomino Fino from Macharnudo Alto and vines in excess of 25 years old along with 5% Pedro Ximenez. The vineyard faces the south east with and inclination of 10 degrees and at an altitude of 135 meters high. The wine is fermented naturally in very old oak barrels. They remain in this ‘sobretabla’ for 1 year fermenting to about 12% alcohol and forming the flor. The wine is then removed from the lees and fortified to 15% and introduced to the first ‘criadera’ or level of the Tio Diego solera. Dark amber in color. Aromatics of hazelnuts with a smooth and persistent palate." -The Importer
