Williams & Humbert Don Zoilo Amontillado 15 Años

Williams & Humbert Don Zoilo Amontillado 15 Años is one of the high quality sherries produced by Bodegas Williams & Humbert, a renowned sherry producer in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. This sherry belongs to the category of "Amontillado," a type of sherry characterized by a unique aging process.

The name "Don Zoilo" is a tribute to the founder of Bodegas Williams & Humbert and refers to the tradition and history of the winery.

The Don Zoilo Amontillado 15 Años is made from the Palomino grape and undergoes a special aging process in the so-called "solera en criaderas" system, which is typical of sherries. This process involves blending sherry from different casks of different ages to maintain a consistent quality and flavor profile.

During the maturation process, this sherry is first exposed to oxidation, similar to Fino sherry. As the wine ages and has less flor (the layer of yeast that forms under the "voile" during aging), it begins to develop into an Amontillado. The result is a sherry with a unique blend of the delicate and floral character of Fino and the richer, more complex profile of Oloroso.

The Don Zoilo Amontillado 15 Años has a beautiful deep amber color and offers a wide range of aromas, including nuts, dried fruit, spices and woody notes. On the tongue, this sherry presents itself with a balanced sweetness and a nice combination of soft, nutty flavors and an elegant dryness.
