About

Valdespino's 'Contrabandista' Amontillado — dry, nutty, complex. The classic amontillado profile: starts as fino under flor, then loses the flor and ages oxidatively, picking up toasted-almond, hazelnut, salinity and gentle wood character. Real Jerez tradition.

Producer note

Valdespino is one of the oldest and most respected sherry houses in Jerez, dating to 1264.
