Amontillado Coliseo VORS
Valdespino 375ml · Cult Sherry
LIMITED EDITION WITH INSURED SHIPPING
"Eternity in a cask: The Amontillado Coliseo is one of the most pungent and complex wines from the Jerez Region. With a solera dating back to the late 19th century, this VORS represents the sublime evolution of a Fino from the Pago de Macharnudo Alto. Its chalky minerality and decades of oxidative aging make it an oenological relic of breathtaking intensity, reserved for those who seek the sensory limit of the Palomino grape."
