Xixarito Amontillado

Palomino Fino grapes gently pressed and complete fermentation before being fortified. Aged for around 7-8 years under a layer of flor, then fortified to allow for oxidative ageing with further 7-8 years, which will darken the colour and provide further complexity. On average these wines have 15 years aging upon release. The Xixarito sherries are the second tier range from Bodegas Barón. The montage of images on the label depicts events in the family’s history: the grandfather’s nickname, “Chicharito” (little pea), his favourite animal (the elephant), the winery dog, the flag of Sanlúcar, and many more… 

Tasting Note: Aromas of caramelized apple, dried fig, hazelnut with green olive, toffee on the nose. Dry and rich with great concentration of dried fruit, spices, nuts, saline on the palate, fresh acidity, medium weight, very long spicy & nutty finish. Exceptional.
