What it pairs with

  • Cured meats with aged cheese
    Dry Amontillado and charcuterie is the foundational Andalusian aperitif pairing.
  • Artichoke vinaigrette
    Dry Amontillado handles artichoke's famously difficult flavour pairing with mineral precision.

History

González Obregón has operated as an almacenista bodega in Jerez since 1895, supplying aged Amontillado to larger négociant houses including Lustau under the Almacenista programme. The programme, which bottles single-almacenista wines under their own names, brought international recognition to small bodegas like González Obregón.
