History
Antique Amontillado is one of five single-style wines in Fernando de Castilla's Antique range, each drawn from a single unblended solera in the Santiago quarter bodega. The Amontillado starts as a Fino under biological ageing, with the flor eventually dying to leave the wine under oxidative care.
