Intensity
Precise selection of grape varieties and meticulous vinification combine to produce an exceptional nectar with a unique taste of dried fruit and smoke.
More infoThis Sherry wine owes its name to the gentle, cold winds of Poniente, and is produced from the El Aljibe vineyard in the Pago Añina, planted with Palomino, one of the grape varieties that Alberto Orte has spent a lifetime exploring, identifying and preserving. It is produced from 6 ‘criaderas’ (multi-tiered barrels used to age wine in the solera method), which have aged for an average of 40 years.
Produced from a selection of the estate’s best clones, with minimum filtration and no clarification to preserve the depth of character, this wine delivers incredible intensity and complexity thanks to slow but steady maturation without fortification.
This wine reveals a rather deep colour for an Amontillado, revealing aromas of walnuts, butter and roasted almonds. On the palate, salted butter caramel aromas complement the dried fruit aromas on the nose, also present on tasting.
About the Producer Alberto Orte
Alberto Orte is a force to be reckoned with: this vigneron crafts fascinating and ambitious wines that have established him as one of the most talented of Spain’s next-generation producers. Beyond co-founding Olé & Obrigado, Orte has also spent much of his life discovering historic terroirs, resurrecting forgotten vines, and replanting grape varieties of the past that might otherwise have been lost to us. He also uses organic methods whilst following the principles of biodynamic growing. In the cellar, vinification borrows its rhythm from the terroirs and grapes themselves, as well as the climate of each parcel. They are all taken into account when adapting fermentation containers and ageing times.
Orte produces two kinds of wine: the first come from single terroirs, and these carry the Alberto Orte label, and the others, more accessible, come from village-named vineyards and are bottled under the Vinos Atlántico label. This range includes Valdeorras reds and Jerez amber wine, a variety of cuvées reflecting a variety of terroirs. A reference producer for getting to know the richness offered by Spanish wine.
