History
The Amontillado 12 Años from El Maestro Sierra is produced from old soleras in the historic centre bodega. The 12 años designation confirms minimum 12 years of combined biological and oxidative ageing, resulting in a wine of greater depth and complexity than the commercial Amontillados of large bodegas.
