Equipo Navazos "La Bota 117" Amontillado, Montilla-Moriles, Spain

FROM EQUIPO NAVAZOS

THE WINE: La Bota de Amontillado 117 “Navazos” is, by style and breed, the natural continuation of an exciting series of amontillados that constitute, like few other wines, the backbone of the adventure that we began in 2005 under the name of Equipo Navazos. From the mythical number 1 with which the journey began, passing through those numbered 9, 37, 58 and 95, to all of whom we have lent the last name “Navazos” because they represent the ideal balance between complexity and freshness that in our opinion makes amontillado the king of wines.

This time we have moved from Sanlúcar to Montilla, looking for something new and because we had to take advantage of the opportunity of a spectacularly fine and lively amontillado, delicious, fluid and at the same time with a lot of character. It is a wine of more than 20 years of average age from Altos de Moriles, first aged for a long time as a fino and during its first oxidative stage in a prestigious winery in Lucena, which was followed by a definitive stage for fining in Pérez Barquero. It has never been fortified and its alcohol content is limited, below 18%, which contributes to its freshness on the palate.

To drink and enjoy without measure, between 11ºC and 13ºC. A wonderfully gastronomic wine that harmonizes with a wide variety of dishes, as well as a delicious glass in itself.
