Appellation: Jerez
Leaena Amontillado Sherry from Bodegas Viuda de Manjón is a distinguished expression of Jerez's winemaking heritage. Crafted exclusively from Palomino grapes, this sherry undergoes a unique dual aging process: an initial 8 years under flor, followed by 12 years of oxidative aging, resulting in a complex and nuanced profile.
On the nose, it offers pronounced aromas of roasted nuts, dried fruits, and subtle oxidative notes. The palate is dry and well-structured, showcasing flavors of toasted almonds, hazelnuts, and a hint of salinity, culminating in a long, elegant finish.
Food Pairings:
-
Grilled Tuna or Bluefish: The wine's nutty and savory character complements the richness of oily fish.
-
Mature Cheeses: Pair with aged cheeses like Manchego or Pecorino to enhance the umami flavors.
