🍷 Sandeman Jerez ‘Character’ Medium Dry Amontillado
Sherry | Spain | Andalucía
Grapes: Palomino Fino, with a touch of Pedro Ximénez
Style: Medium Dry Amontillado
🌟 A refined and layered sherry expressing both flor-driven freshness and oxidative complexity.
👁️ In the Glass:
Brilliant medium gold with amber glints, hinting at its extended ageing and depth.
👃 On the Nose:
Complex and inviting bouquet featuring bready notes from flor, roasted almonds, hazelnuts, and dried apricots. Layers of raisins, toffee, and subtle spice unfold, enriched by a whisper of Pedro Ximénez sweetness.
👄 On the Palate:
Silky and multidimensional. The palate balances dry oxidative nuttiness with mellow sweetness. Walnut, orange peel, caramel, and hints of treacle weave into a long, elegant finish with a toasted edge.
🍽 Food Pairing:
Pairs beautifully with tapas, cured meats, mushroom dishes, foie gras, or aged cheeses like Manchego.
⏳ Ageing Potential:
Ready to drink now but will hold its character for several years post-bottling if well stored.
💎 Why You’ll Love It:
This Amontillado showcases the full spectrum of sherry artistry—from flor to oxidative ageing—with a subtle touch of sweetness. It’s versatile, expressive, and endlessly food-friendly—ideal for those looking to explore the nuanced charm of traditional Andalusian winemaking.
