Though tradition dictates a different name, this bottling from The Saldanha Wine & Spirit Co. embodies the essence of a classic sherry. Founded in 2023 by the esteemed Badenhorst Family of the Swartland, the company champions South Africa’s rich heritage of Fortified and Sweet wines through unique, small-batch releases. Amontillado, their second such offering, showcases a fascinating journey of aging: 18 months under a veil of flor followed by a decade of oxidative maturation. Crafted from Palomino and Verdelho grapes, this dry and complex wine boasts a slightly elevated 17% ABV.
