Litre of The Society's Medium Dry Amontillado Blend
True Amontillados (meaning "in the style of Montilla", a town in southern Spain) are dry wines. The flor which grows on the Sherry dies or is killed by fortification, and the Amontillado is left to mature in the presence of oxygen. This develops a rich, nutty flavour. Made by Sánchez Romate, The Society's Amontillado is medium-dry with plenty of flavour. Serve at room temperature in good-sized glasses to fully appreciate the bouquet.

Sánchez Romate SA
Bodegas Sánchez Romate can be found in the historic heart of Jerez de la Frontera, and is one of the few bodegas still entirely owned by Jerez families. As well as being the home of sherry (the word ‘sherry’ is an anglicisation of Jerez), the city is home to many late gothic churches and convents, and is also the birthplace of flamenco, and some horse shows.
With its pretty streets lined with fragrant orange and lilac trees, it is no wonder that families have been flocking here for centuries to produce its most famous wines. Romate’s founder, Don Juan Sánchez de la Torré, did just that in 1781, meaning it is now one of Spain’s oldest wineries still in operation.
Their family-owned status means they retain both their independence (they still produce, age, bottle, and despatch all of their own produce) and can continue making wines according to their artisanal traditions. Their popularity went way beyond Jerez, however: they have also been the official purveyor to the House of Lords, the Vatican, and the Spanish Royal Family.
Sánchez Romate own vineyards in some of the best locations in the sherry triangle, benefiting from western Andalusia’s glorious sunshine and cooling sea breezes. The white albariza (limestone) soil is perfect for sherry grapes (palomino and pedro ximénez) because they absorb and retain the winter and spring rainfall and supply it to the vine in the scorching summer.
Their winery of course uses the Solera ‘steps and ladder’ system, a method unique to...
