General Information

The solera of this Del Duque Amontillado VORS, with more than three hundred years, was initiated with 16 casks purchased from the Duke of Medinaceli in 1835. An oenological gem, concentrated and complex, with numerous international awards, such as the gold medal at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2018 and the gold medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2018. Ideal to enjoy with intense seafood, seafood rice dishes, or aged cheeses.

Produced by the group González Byass, which for more than 170 years has led the market, initially with Sherry wines (through its Tío Pepe brand), and later, thanks to an expansion strategy, the national wine market, with wineries in the main Spanish appellations of origin.

Creators' opinion

Amontillado Del Duque muestra un color dorado oscuro debido al largo periodo de tiempo que ha pasado en la bota. En nariz, destacan sus aromas punzantes sobrevenidos del tiempo pasado bajo el velo de flor, junto a notas de frutos secos como la nuez moscada, típica de la variedad palomino. Sorprendentemente este vino mantiene una delicada finura. En paladar es seco y potente, bien estructurado y con un largo final.
