Amontillado

This is aged Fino Sherry that undergoes oxidative ageing. After the flor (yeast) dies, the yeast sinks to the bottom of the wine and is no longer able to protect the Sherry from oxidation. The now unprotected Sherry begins to take on a rich and deep nutty flavor and takes the character of traditional Amontillado.
