Micaela Amontillado
Palomino Fino gently pressed and complete fermentation before being fortified. Aged for a total of 4-5 years, first under a layer of flor (like a manzanilla), then fortified to allow for oxidative ageing which will darken the colour and provide concentration and complexity. The Micaela sherries are the entry-level range from Bodegas Barón and the label is a move away from the traditional image. The design represents a piece of woven cloth; the petals are those of the passionflower.
Tasting Note: Aromas of hazelnut, toasted almond, with oak spice, dried apricot, cured meat on the nose. Crisp and a silky texture, nutty and spicy on the palate, fresh acidity, good finish with notes of saline. Dry.
