Amontillado AOS VORS

In the glass

Aroma: deep hazelnut, aged oak, dried figs, rancio, light iodine

Palate: walnut oil, coffee, mineral, leather, dried orange

VORS Amontillado from Osborne's deepest soleras: 30-plus year average age gives extraordinary rancio concentration and complexity in the dry El Puerto Atlantic microclimate.

What it pairs with

• Contemplative sipping alone
  VORS complexity warrants full attention without food distraction.
• Aged raw-milk cheeses
  Intense farmhouse cheese flavours match the wine's concentrated depth.

History

A VORS designation requires the wine to have an average age of over 30 years across the full solera scale, certified by the Consejo Regulador. Released in very limited quantities from the El Puerto de Santa María bodega.
