What it tastes like.

Definition: In EEC terms, Quality Liquor Wine Produced in a Specific Region, (VLCPRD, CE R1493/99); in Spain, fortified wine with the Quality Demarcation Jerez Ð Xér�s Ð Sherry and indication of age: 12 years. Two ageing periods: biological ageing under a layer of yeast and physical-chemical ageing by oxidation. Natural amontillado. 

Type of grape: Palomino.

Vineyards: Jerez Superior. Pago A–ina y Carrascal.

Alcohol content: 18% Alc/vol.

Type of grape: Amontillado (natural).

Sugar content: Dry. Less than 4 g/l., from concentration through evaporation.

Production: Bud musts from our best vineyards. Cold, still decanting, followed by fermentation at 22ΒΌ C. Early filtering, classification by quality and then fortified at 15ΒΌ with the best distilled wines before going on to the racks. Put into the classical Jerez Criaderas y Soleras system of dynamic ageing in the 12th criadera, where the biological ageing takes place under a layer of yeast. Traditional oak casks, preferably American, with capacities of 30 and 36 @. Aged for at least 8 years, after which it is transferred to the 3rd criadera for an additional 4 years of natural ageing by oxidation until it reaches the solera. It is then removed for consumption.

Tasting notes: Brilliant hues of old gold and amber. Pungent, intense and complex on the nose, with a subtle note of the fino sherry it had once been and a hint of dried nuts and filberts. Dry, with excellent acidity; a long, full-bodied and elegant palate. A delightfully expressive and unforgettable finish.

Suggestions for consumption: An excellent aperitif and perfect with cheese, ham or seafood.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.
