Sanchez Romate Amontillado NPU (75cl)

An Amontillado sherry from Bodega Sanchez Romate, bright amber in the glass. It is made by ageing biologically under a layer of yeast, then continuing with oxidative ageing, which gives it its nutty, dry character. The nose is sharp and nutty, with hints of herbs, tobacco and lightly toasted oak. On the palate it is very dry and smooth, with balanced acidity and a long hazelnut finish. It suits soups and consommés, white meats, oily fish such as tuna, mushrooms and semi-cured cheeses, and it works with asparagus and artichokes. Serve at 13 to 14°C.
