General Information
The centenary winery González Byass demonstrates its absolute mastery of each and every traditional elaboration of the Jerez region with Viña AB Amontillado, a generous wine with a sharp aroma and a smooth, full palate, whose main distinctive quality is elegance.
The palomino fino grape stars solo in this Viña AB Amontillado, to which the time spent under the flor veil added almond notes typical of the varietal. The subsequent oxidative aging for a minimum of 8 years in American oak barrels, following the traditional solera system, also added rich aromatic nuances of wood and aromatic herbs and a pleasant and balanced mouthfeel. Enjoy it well chilled, at around 8 or 9 ºC, alongside a wide variety of dishes such as grilled vegetables, hearty soups, tuna, rockfish, and good cheeses and cold cuts.
