Conde de Aldama Amontillado from Bodegas Yuste represents a classic style of Amontillado from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, in which two distinct aging phases clearly intertwine - initial biological aging under flor followed by long oxidative maturation. It is made from the Palomino Fino grape and comes from old soleras that give the wine depth and a stable identity.
This method of aging results in a wine of medium to deep amber color, with pronounced aromatic complexity. On the nose, notes of hazelnut, walnut, and dried herbs stand out, accompanied by subtle tones of caramel and spice that come from extended time in barrel.
On the palate, the wine is completely dry, precise, and elegant, with finely integrated acidity and a clear yet restrained oxidative character. The texture is smooth, while the structure is firm, giving a sense of seriousness without heaviness.
The finish is long and clean, with a gentle saline touch typical of wines from Sanlúcar.
