Sánchez Romate Amontillado

Sánchez Romate's Amontillado begins as Palomino Fino from inland Jerez vineyards, fortified and aged under flor for 4–6 years before refortification halts the yeast and initiates oxidative maturation for a further 6–8 years. The solera system—typically spanning 3–4 levels—ensures consistent house character throughout the 10–12 year total ageing period. The result is a bone-dry wine of deep amber-gold hue, with aromas of toasted almond, hazelnut, and subtle oak, balanced by lively acidity and saline complexity. More refined and approachable than concentrated expressions, it exemplifies how Romate's warmer inland location produces amontillados of particular richness and textural depth.
