The delicate touch of residual sweetness tickles the flavors of the Erdener podium to top performance

NV | Bodegas Hidalgo Amontillado Viejo Pastrana | Andalucia 500ml Champagne Francis Orban vibrant acidityLight mahogany colour, quite bright and clear. The nose combines iron rust with pungent, marine, sea breeze aromas. The palate is pure salt and iodine, a piece of sea in a bottle that is a little extreme and sharp, pungent and penetrating. It's a wine that started it's life as a Manzanilla, so it was a sharp wine to start with and was sharpened further by its aging in a winery some 400 meters from the sea. An extreme Amontillado that dries your mouth.
