José Pizarro Amontillado, Rare Solera AOS, Osborne
This Amontillado is part of the personal stores of the Osborne family, until very recently not made commercially available. 25 years average age at bottling from 3 different criaderas. Miniscule amounts are bottled, and fewer every year because of the shrinking solera that feeds it.
Grape: 100% Palomino. Vines tended in Albariza soil at 70 m (230 ft) elevation from the Balbaina pago.
Pairing: The salinity and rich, savory profile of this wine makes it a perfect pair with jamon, nuts, and aged cheeses such as Manchego.
Aging: 25 years of age at bottling (average) from 3 criaderas founded in 1903, RS = 0 g/L
