Premium Amontillado from Gutiérrez Colosía's oldest family solera butts: the Atlantic El Puerto microclimate gives the wine a lighter, more delicate character than Jerez city-centre equivalents at comparable age.
What it pairs with
-
Grilled wild sea bass

Nutty oxidative wine with a nutty aged cheese creates coherence.
History
The Soleras Familiares (Family Soleras) range at Gutiérrez Colosía draws from the oldest butts maintained at the riverside El Puerto bodega since its founding. This premium tier represents the bodega's deepest archive of biological-to-oxidative ageing, distinct from the standard range by greater age and complexity.
- 1838 — Family solera butts established at the El Puerto riverside bodega
- 2005 — Soleras Familiares range created as a premium tier
