Traditionally, the word 'amontillado' refers here to the colour of the wines produced in Montilla, near Cordoba (the cradle of the oxidative PX). This wine begins its ageing under the 'flor" (a veil of yeasts) then finishes it in the oxidative mode. Hence its distinctive color And this is undoubtedly a traditional Amontillado.

Brandy Juan Sebastián Elcano is a D.O. Brandy de Jerez Solera Gran Reserva from Gutiérrez Colosía. Its solera dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, and the brandy is aged in American oak casks that previously held Oloroso. It is matured according to the traditional criaderas and solera system, with production limited to just 1,500 bottles per year. Its name pays tribute to the Spanish training ship Juan Sebastián Elcano, which has close ties to the Bay of Cádiz.

The Elixir cuvée is the perfect symbiosis between two terroirs: the poor sandy soils of Chipiona and the limestones of Sanlucar. This is a quite aromatic wine, but also full of complexity and very long on the palate.

The Lumière cuvée is made with the grapes of the estate’s best terroirs (La Platera, in Pago de Miraflores) and the oldest Palomino vines (60 years old). Here can one really get to feel all the complexity and minerality of Palomino. How come we had to wait for so long before we realised that this grape which produces magnificent sherry can also offer white, non-fortified wines with such a nice saltiness?
