Although Montilla-Moriles fortified wines are as good as those from next door Jerez region, they are less well known. It is of note that 'Amontillado' means 'in the style of Montilla'. Indeed the technique of drying grapes in the hot sun until they are like raisins, giving intensely sweet wines was invented and perfected in Montilla. The Alvear Range is magnificent and highly praised by the international wine press.
Light tawny colour, with aromas of dried fruits, chocolate and nuts. Sweet but yet fresh on the palate, with notes of sweet spice, mature dark fruit, figs and cocoa, with a long, rich finish. Serve as a digestif, with vanilla ice cream, or chocolate based desserts.
