Montilla-Moriles is a small wine region in the centre of Andalucía, producing wines in a similar fashion to those found in Jerez (Sherry). This bone dry fortified fino wine is made with the Pedro Ximenez grape and offers a savoury complex palate. Expect flavours of mealy green apple, chamomile tea and an almond and yeasty complexity before a persistent aromatic finish.
