Gran Barquero 25 year-old Amontillado (500 ML)

Salty, earthy flavors mixed with notes of candied fruit, which are typical of the wines grown in Montilla’s warmth. While it’s powerful, it’s also balanced, the sharp acidity penetrating the sweet fruit and holding the wine long on rich notes of sweet spices.

Bodegas Pérez Barquero was founded in 1905 by 3 brothers from Northern Spain. The winery’s oldest solera dates from this year – and there are indeed still some bottles available! Under the direction of cellar master Rafael Córdoba, Pérez Barquero has built an International reputation as the top sherry producer in the appellation, earning numerous awards, including the only 100-Point rating from the Wine Advocate for a sherry. Their vineyards are located in the most valued high quality zones of the Sierra de Montilla and Moriles Alto, where the substratum is very rich in organic remains, allowing for optimal ripening of their grapes.
