Bodegas Yuste, Aurora Amontillado Sherry, Andalucía, Spain
Tasting Note: An Amontillado Sherry with an undercurrent of pleasing flavors that demonstrate the benefits of development.
Medium-intensity amber in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of brioche, fig, toast, hazelnut, caramel and butter.
On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied Amontillado Sherry has medium-plus-intensity flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and completing with a buttery, yeasty, medium-plus finish.
There is complexity on the midpalate with a flavorsome finish.
Bottle Note: Fco. Yuste (Bodegas Yuste) is dedicated to the preservation of tradition and quality in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. This Amontillado, from the finest Manzanilla, is salty yet delicate in aroma, dry yet softly lingering on the palate. Ideal with soups and salty appetizers, grilled seafood and poultry.
