Colosia Amontillado Sherry(75cl, 18%)
Amber in colour having spent 5 years aging in a Solera system - offering flavours of hazelnuts, almonds, rich citrus fruits & nuances of the sea.
Description
Amontillado sherry begins its life as a Fino sherry, but is reclassified as amontillado, if the layer of wine yeast (flor) fails to develop adequately during the barrel (solera) maturation. Amontillado is fortified to between 16º and 18º,it is fuller and darker than Fino (amber-coloured), with a smoothly-textured palate, suggestive of hazelnuts, over nuances of sea salt.
