Flavour notes
In the glass it shows a light mahogany colour with a clear amber rim. The aroma moves through dates and raisins, followed by butterscotch, toffee and toasted hazelnut.On the palate it is medium-bodied, smooth and silky. The sweetness is moderate, with a gentle bittersweet impression, and the finish brings the nutty Amontillado character more clearly into focus.

Product info about Valdespino Contrabandista Amontillado
Valdespino Contrabandista Amontillado is a medium dry sherry from Jerez, shaped by the contrast between mature Amontillado and a small addition of Pedro Ximénez. The result keeps the nutty, lightly oxidative identity of Amontillado, but with a softer and more rounded edge than a fully dry style.Its base is Palomino Fino, fermented dry and first aged biologically under flor. The wine is then fortified further to 18%, the flor disappears, and maturation continues oxidatively in the Amontillado solera system. A measured proportion of Pedro Ximénez is blended in afterwards to create the medium dry character. With an average age of 15 years, Contrabandista has enough maturity for its Amontillado side to come through clearly.
The name refers to the contrabandista, the smuggler, with label inspiration linked to historic smuggling routes between Gibraltar and Jerez. At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of sherry we like to introduce when someone wants the flavour of Amontillado with a little extra generosity on the palate.
Serve it at cellar temperature or lightly chilled in a white wine glass. It works well as an aperitif and has the weight to accompany soup, pâté, foie gras and creamy, fuller cheeses such as camembert and brie.
In the glass it shows a light mahogany colour with a clear amber rim. The aroma moves through dates and raisins, followed by butterscotch, toffee and toasted hazelnut.
On the palate it is medium-bodied, smooth and silky. The sweetness is moderate, with a gentle bittersweet impression, and the finish brings the nutty Amontillado character more clearly into focus.

About VALDESPINO
The first seeds of Bodegas Valdespino were sown in 1264, when Don Alfonso Valdespino received an estate in Jerez de la Frontera from King Alonso for his help in the struggle against the Moors. In the meantime, Valdespino has become a purveyor to, among others, the Spanish and Swedish royal families. Contrabandista Amontillado is a blend of Palomino and Pedro Ximenez. The grapes originate from Pago Macharnudo Alto in Jerez de la Frontera. Fermentation takes place in casks, which was very common in the past, but is now unique to Valdespino. The sherry matures for about 8 years in barrel and 7 years under oxidative ageing.
