Discover the Valdespino Legacy
Valdespino, one of the oldest and most revered sherry producers, has a storied past that enriches every bottle of Coliseo Amontillado V.O.R.S. This esteemed bodega’s origins date back to 1264 A.D., with commercial activities traced to 1430. Known for its adherence to traditional methods, Valdespino’s connection with the Royal Houses of Spain underscores its high quality and prestige.
The Art of Amontillado V.O.R.S.
The Coliseo Amontillado V.O.R.S. represents a pinnacle of sherry craftsmanship. Characterized by its V.O.R.S. classification—“Vinum Optimum Rare Signatum”—this sherry is guaranteed to be over 30 years old, although its actual age often exceeds expectations at around 50-60 years. This classification highlights its rarity and reverence among sherry collections.
Beginning its journey under a veil of flor like a Fino, Amontillado’s rich profile evolves as the flor dies, promoting oxidative aging that imparts the nuanced oxidative and nutty character it is famed for. This complex transition in flavor profile is testament to Valdespino’s mastery over the meticulous solera process.
Exceptional Craftsmanship and Aging
The Valdespino winery prides itself on its commitment to old-world vinification. The Coliseo Amontillado V.O.R.S. is crafted entirely from the Palomino Fino grape, predominantly harvested from the Macharnudo estate—renowned for its high-quality albariza soils. The controlled environment of the solera aging system grants this sherry its legendary complexity and depth, drawing from casks that have nourished these wines for decades.
Sensory Masterpiece
Dive into a sensory journey with a glass of Coliseo Amontillado V.O.R.S., where each aroma and flavor strand is woven meticulously into the sherry’s profile.
