Williams & Humbert Dos Cortados Solera Especial 20 Años

Williams & Humbert Dos Cortados Solera Especial 20 Años is an exceptional sherry produced by Bodegas Williams & Humbert, a renowned sherry producer from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. This sherry belongs to the category of "Dos Cortados," which refers to a special type of sherry that is rare and highly prized for its unique character.

Dos Cortados combines the characteristics of both Amontillado and Oloroso sherries. It starts as a Fino sherry, maturing under a layer of yeast called "flor." However, in the case of Dos Cortados, the sherry has undergone a unique evolution where the flor layer disappears prematurely, triggering the oxidative maturation process similar to that of Oloroso sherry.

The name "Dos Cortados" refers to the two "cortes" or cuts in the ripening process: the loss of the flor layer and the beginning of the oxidative process. This gives Dos Cortados a remarkably complex and refined flavor profile.

Dos Cortados Solera Especial 20 Años has a deep amber color and offers a rich and complex blend of aromas, including nuts, dried fruit, toffee, spices and a hint of wood.

On the tongue, this sherry presents itself with a balanced sweetness and dryness, with a silky smooth texture and a long, elegant finish. The 20 years of aging gives it a depth and maturity that make it an exceptional sherry.

Dos Cortados Solera Especial 20 Años is an excellent choice as an aperitif or digestif and can also be enjoyed with a wide variety of dishes, such as nuts, aged cheeses, foie gras, ham and even rich desserts.
