Winemaker Notes

Leading with a sweet aroma of butterscotch and hazelnuts, caramel and spice, this Amontillado fits nicely whenever good taste and sophistication reside.

Amontillado pairs well with the smoky taste of grilled mushrooms or roasted glazed chicken. It also works incredibly well as a deglazing wine for any poultry or meats.

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    A hint of sweetness softens this full-bodied Amontillado. It evolves from caramel and toffee flavors to roasted almond and coffee as the sweetness gives way to a firm, dry finish.
  • 90
    With a nose of toffee, dried apricot, cocoa powder and rancio, this is classic off-dry amontillado. It feels fresh and active, then tastes rich and moderately sweet, with flavors of hazelnut, caramel, toasted banana, orange and spice. Nutty and smooth on the finish.

Bodegas Dios Baco, Spain
Bodegas Dios Baco Winery Image
The origin of our winery dates back to 1765. However, in the early twentieth century, the legendary Palomino & Vergara winery was founded by Don Juan Vergara and Don Juan Palomino. Years later, these wineries would become part of Rumasa, running successfully for more than 20 years, and then passed into the hands of the first multinational of Jerez, John Harvey & Sons Ltd.

Finally, the company was purchased in 1992 by its current owner Don Jose Paez Morilla, founder of Bodegas Dios Baco, with the intention to return to the origins of its foundation. That is, to offer limited production, high quality, unbeatable products to the consumers.

Our Dios Baco cellar was built in 1848, more than 150 years ago, It was part of a complex of cellars called "The Twelve Disciples" after the disciples of Christ.

At present there are only three cellars: Bodega Baco, Bodega de la Cruz and Bodega Pio XII. The first being the most emblematic and the name given to our winery.

Sherry is a fortified wine that comes in many styles from dry to sweet. True Sherry can only be made in Andalucía, Spain where the soil and unique seasonal changes give a particular character to its wines. The process of production—not really the grape—determine the type, though certain types are reserved for certain grapes. Palomino is responsible for most dry styles; Pedro Ximénez and Muscat of Alexandria are used for blending or for sweet styles.

Known more formally as Jerez de la Frontera, Jerez is a city in Andalucía in southwest Spain and the center of the Jerez region and sherry production. Sherry is a mere English corruption of the term Jerez, while in French, Jerez is written, Xérès. Manzanilla is the freshest style of sherry, naturally derived from the seaside town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
