Amontillado del Puerto Gonzales Byass (50cl)

An amontillado sherry from Gonzales Byass, presented by Lustau in a 50 cl bottle, from Jerez in Andalusia. It is made from Palomino grapes grown on clay and limestone soils. Ageing begins under flor, then continues oxidatively in American oak casks, developing complexity. It is amber in colour, with aromas of toasted nuts, almonds and a light caramel note. On the palate it is elegant and persistent, balancing softness and freshness, with savoury notes that suit mushroom dishes, white meats and aged cheeses.
