FossiAmontillado

Intense and Fresh Amontillado Sherry

A really crisp, sapid onset with plenty of salinity and herbal notes. Acidity is quite high, with plenty of finesse. It quickly gets rounder and warmer though, showing more nutty notes again (hazelnuts, bitter almonds) as well as some fruity echoes. Dried grass and fennel seeds. Just a hint of orange peel. Warm wood and hints of varnish in the very end.

BEHIND THE WINE

Collantes is a bodega in Chiclana, the south part of the D.O. Jerez-Xeres-Sherry, in the production zone of the sherry region so outside of the sherry triangle.

This amontillado is the result of two very different aging processes. First under flor and then oxidative. This evolution ensures that an amontillado combines the elegance of a fino with the expressiveness of an oloroso. Solera of at least 9 years of which 5 years under flor and about 4 years oxidative.
