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.
The winery
In 1835, the entrepreneur Manuel María González Angel arrived in Jerez with the intention of doing business with the growing demand for Sherry from England. He acquired a small winery that, by 1955, was overwhelmed by its success. Manuel María González partnered with his agent in England, Mr. Robert Blake Byass, thus founding the company González-Byassz. Today, it is the fifth generation of the González family who lead this family heritage business.
Currently, the González Byass group is made up of a wide range of wineries producing in the most emblematic and important denominations of origin in Spain (with Beronia in the D.O.Ca. Rioja; Viñas del Vero in the D.O. Somontano; Vilarnau in Catalonia; Finca Constancia in Toledo, Finca Moncloa in Cádiz, Pazos de Lusco in the D.O. Rías Baixas, and the Tío Pepe winery in Jerez).Among the products offered by the group, the emblematic wines of Jerez, their cavas, brandies, anises, liqueurs, gin, oils, vinegars, spirits, among others, stand out.
