What it pairs with
-
Mojama (dried tuna) with almonds
The wine's saline depth and almond character are a natural match for the coastal salt-dried fish tradition. -
Patatas bravas with aioli
Crispy potato with garlic emulsion suits the wine's savoury, mineral weight.
History
La Cigarrera's en rama philosophy extends to their Amontillado, drawn from the full biological-to-oxidative solera and bottled without filtration. The practice preserves the live volatile compounds that the filtration process typically removes, giving the wine a more complex, slightly turbid character valued by enthusiasts of unfiltered sherry.
- 1758 — Amontillado solera transition established at La Cigarrera
- 2012 — Amontillado En Rama released as a limited unfiltered bottling
