A truly impressive Amontillado from Montilla. The average age is difficult to establish, but certainly over fifty and likely over sixty years old. This fortified wine has been sourced from from some of the oldest casks of the bodega, belonging to the set of primitive soleras of the house. The wine was drawn from cask in November of 2023. 1300 bottles were produced.

They are almost always dry, though many possess a caramelized note that may be perceived as sweetness. These Sherries can last two to three weeks (in the refrigerator) after opening, but should still be consumed relatively young. Amontillados fall into the...

Pedro Ximenez

Also known as PX (thankfully to those of us who have a dislike of words that begin with x’s), this dessert-style fortified wine is made entirely from the highly-sugared Pedro Ximénez grapes. Many of the best examples come from the region of Montilla, and are thus not technically classified as Sherries. PX’s are intensely, almost syrupy sweet, and are ideal drizzled over vanilla ice cream (or over your waffles, if you like to drink in the mornings). If you’ve got a serious sweet tooth, PX is for...
