The Sherry Valdespino Amontillado Dry Tio Diego is a typical expression of the territory, as per the tradition of the Bodega.
The Valdespino family has cultivated vines in the sherry triangle since 1264 and has been producing wine since 1430. However, the official registration of the bodegas took place only in 1875, but immediately became, in 1883, the official supplier of its sherry to the royal court of Spain and establishing itself as one of the most important and esteemed bodegas. Valdespino famous thanks to its grapes coming exclusively from one of the best vineyards in the sherry triangle, namely Macharnudo, a hilly terrain rich in chalk located southwest of Jerez.
Like all amontillado, the must is fermented in oak barrels. The wine aged for over 8 years before being fortified to eliminate the flor layer and thus continue its aging in an oxidative way for at least another 8 years. This allows it to take on a complex range of notes typical of both maturations and an amber color. Valdespino Amontillado Dry Tio Diego is therefore a complex sherry on the nose with aromas of toasted hazelnut and fresh grass. Dry, full, elegant and well balanced on the palate. with harmonic and peppery persistence.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
