• Roasted chestnuts and walnuts
  Nut aromatics in the wine resonate with roasted autumn nuts.

History

Bodegas Tradición was founded in 1998 with the explicit mission of releasing only VORS and VOS aged sherries from old soleras purchased from retiring families or dormant bodegas in the Jerez triangle. The Amontillado VORS is sourced from soleras originally established decades earlier; Tradición ages, blends and bottles without compromise to commercial volume.

1. 1998 — Bodegas Tradición founded with a VORS-only mission; old Amontillado soleras acquired
2. 2000 — VORS Amontillado certified under the new Consejo Regulador classification
