GUTIERREZ COLOSIA AMONTILLADO NV 375ML - white

Style: FortifiedGutiérrez Colsía is a family business established in the 1830s. The bodega was built in 1838 in el Puerto de Santa María on the banks of Río Guadalete, next to the Atlantic Ocean and across the bay from Cadiz. The humid winds from the sea regulate the bodega's humidity, maintaining optimum conditions for the protective flor. In Sherry, Puerto is the third leg of 'The Sherry Triangle'. The vineyards which grow Palomino grapes for Fino production are chalky Albariza soils found in the triangle between Jerez inland and the coastal towns, Sanlúcar de Barremeda and el Puerto de Santa María. Río Guadalquiver, which enters the Atlantic at Sanlúcar and Río Guadalete at Puerto are the northern and southern borders of 'Sherry Country'.Bone-dry mature Fino is further-aged 7 years oxidatively to become an Amontillado. Pale topaz, amber. Hazelnuts, tobacco, aromatic herbs, tree saps and resins on the nose are followed by smoked almonds and caramel popcorn. There is a salinity of saltbush and seaspray. The biological ageing leaves the palate with an elegant, lean body free of glycerol. It offers up decaying autumnal leaves, acorn husk, salted quince, and a minerality screaming ALBARIZA! This is an elegant and subtle amontillado. THE SPANISH ACQUISITION, ImporterQuite thick and glutinous. Honeyed notes - though it is bone dry. Salt, bitter pith. Great length.
