It begins life as a fino aged under flor, then continues ageing oxidatively once the flor dies, gaining the amber colour and nutty depth that define the amontillado style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Amontillado Sherry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABV: 17%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape: Palomino Fino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Jerez, Spain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgeing: Under flor, then oxidative, in the criaderas y soleras system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSanchez Romate was established in Jerez de la Frontera in 1781 by Juan Sanchez de la Torre, and the bodega remains in local family hands today. Its sherries are aged through the traditional criaderas y soleras system in central Jerez, where high-ceilinged cellars and sand floors help maintain the conditions the wines need. Romate maintains its amontillado the classic way: the entry-level fino solera feeds the basic amontillado solera, so this bottling literally starts as a fino before time and oxygen transform it into something darker and more complex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright amber in colour, with a pungent, persistent almond aroma.
