Osborne Amontillado 51-1A 1830 VORS

The Amontillado 51-1A (called "Amontillado 51 Primero") is one of the oldest existing soleras in the Jerez district dating back to 1830. While sold as a VORS (guaranteed minimum age of 30 years) is at least twice that age, and probably older. The entire solera is compromise of 52 barrels and only 1.5% of the wine is drawn yearly from each barrel. After the dismantling by Pernod Ricard of the Allied Domecq empire in 2005, the VORS soleras were bought by Osborne and moved to El Puerto de Santa Maria, where they now form part of the bodega/museum along with other amazing soleras.

100% Palomino. Vines tended in albariza soil at 70 m (230 ft) elevation from the Macharnudo pago.

Amontillado 51-1 pairs extremely well with Jamon Iberico, aged manchego, cheddar, Parmesan and aged Comté. Another successful match is meats that contain field or chesnut mushrooms.
