Valdespino Amontillado Tio Diego Sherry - 75cl
Valdespino Amontillado Tio Diego is a celebrated craft Spanish amontillado sherry — produced from Palomino Fino grapes through a distinctive two-stage aging process: first biologically under flor (like a fino), then oxidatively in oak casks (developing amber colour and nutty character). Distinctive for its bone-dry, layered profile bridging fino and oloroso styles.
From Valdespino — one of Jerez's most prestigious traditional sherry houses with 14th-century roots.
A serious craft Spanish amontillado sherry — perfect with tapas (jamón Ibérico, mature cheese, almonds, mushroom dishes), or as digestif.
