Bodegas Barbadillo Amontillado 'Principe' 375ml

Country: Spain

Region: Cádiz

Type: Sherry

Grape: Palomino

Dating to 1821, Barbadillo is the reference house of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, where they own 500 hectares of their own vines, vinify all their own base wines, and age their sherries in a panoply of historic bodegas, most of them exposed to the fresh sea breezes wafting through the Barrio Alto.

This wine undergoes 8 years of biological aging followed by 6 years of oxidative aging in various bodegas in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. A serious dry wine with great intensity, it is pungent and lengthy with notes of salted almonds, lemon zest and toffee. Almost stinging acidity brings this to a razor sharp finish.
