What it pairs with
-
Perdiz estofada (braised partridge)
The wine's complex oxidative depth and full body hold up to intensely flavoured game bird. -
Aged Manchego or Ibores
Hard Spanish sheep's milk cheese with the complexity to match this very old wine. -
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.
- 1998 — Bodegas Tradición founded with a VORS-only mission; old Amontillado soleras acquired
- 2000 — VORS Amontillado certified under the new Consejo Regulador classification
