Amontillado 'Aurora'

S.A · 500 ml · 19,00%

Light Ripe
  • Spain

  • Conventional

  • Bodegas Yuste

A dry, amber-coloured sherry with aromas of toasted hazelnuts, dried fruit, sea salt and a touch of iodine. Round and intense on the palate, with an elegant, lingering finish. Delicious with aged cheese, mushrooms and grilled fish.

Aurora is named after Aurora Ambrosse Lacave, who took charge of the winery after her husband's death in 1911. This Amontillado begins life as Manzanilla, protected for years by a veil of flor yeast. Once the flor fades, oxygen takes over, creating deep nutty and saline aromas. The wine comes from Bodegas Yuste's historic Conde de Aldama solera in Sanlúcar. Two very different ageing traditions meet in one glass.
