What it pairs with
-
Cocido madrileño broth
Old Spanish tradition: a cup of Amontillado alongside a chickpea and meat broth. -
Artichokes with vinaigrette
The wine's bitter almond and dry tang complements the challenging artichoke pairing. -
Mushroom soup with truffle oil
Earthy, savoury depth in the wine mirrors the umami intensity of mushroom and truffle.
History
La Bota de Amontillado editions are selected from barrels where the flor has died and the wine has begun its oxidative ageing phase in a specific Jerez bodega. Equipo Navazos identifies the exceptional individual botas through repeated tasting before each numbered saca and bottles without fining or filtration, making each edition a unique snapshot.
