The Equipo Navazos La Bota No. 124 Fino Amontillado NV is a distinctive dry fortified wine from Andalucía, Spain, crafted from the traditional Palomino Fino grape variety. Combining the freshness of biologically aged Fino with the developed complexity of Amontillado, this Sherry reflects the transition between two classic styles of maturation. The nose reveals aromas of toasted almonds, roasted hazelnuts, dried lemon peel and chamomile, complemented by hints of green olives, fresh bread dough, dried herbs and subtle woody spice.
On the palate, it is dry and finely structured, with lively acidity and a delicate yet concentrated texture. Flavours of salted almonds, bitter orange, toasted bread and dried citrus unfold alongside notes of roasted walnuts, gentle spice and savoury herbs. The influence of flor ageing provides freshness and subtle saline character, while emerging oxidative notes contribute additional depth and nutty complexity. The finish is long, precise and pleasantly savoury, leaving lingering impressions of citrus peel, toasted nuts, delicate herbal bitterness and refined mineral notes.
