This Williams & Humbert Amontillado, paired with the main course of Ambivium\u2019s menu, belongs to the winery\u2019s Vintage Collection. Unlike traditional sherries, aged through the dynamic Criaderas y Soleras system, these vintage wines are aged statically \u2013 as in the case of this Amontillado 2001, aged for 18 years in old American oak casks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped alignwide wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1073\" height=\"747\" data-id=\"1683\" src=\"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Ambivium-4-1.jpg\" alt=\"Ambivium team cooking at the Copa Jerez final\" class=\"wp-image-1683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Ambivium-4-1.jpg 1073w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Ambivium-4-1-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Ambivium-4-1-1024x713.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Ambivium-4-1-768x535.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1073px) 100vw, 1073px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very few bottles of this Amontillado 2001 have been released, as it is a highly exclusive, limited edition. It is made from excellent free-run must from Palomino grapes from the A\u00f1ina and Carrascal pagos in the Jerez Superior area. The must is fortified to 15.5%, giving way to biological ageing under a veil of flor followed by oxidative ageing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped alignwide wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1073\" height=\"747\" data-id=\"1676\" src=\"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Ambivium-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Trout adobo with Vintage Amontillado 2001\" class=\"wp-image-1676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Ambivium-2-1.jpg 1073w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Ambivium-2-1-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Ambivium-2-1-1024x713.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Ambivium-2-1-768x535.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1073px) 100vw, 1073px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This vintage has distinctive features, such as extreme finesse and a pure expression of elegance and minerality, a faithful reflection of the weather that marked its harvest year. The nose is complex and pungent, dominated by toffee, caramel and leather, and on the palate it is dry, mineral and saline, with notes of nuts and nutmeg and a long, persistent finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ambivium paired its trout, ham and halophyte adobo with Williams &#038; Humbert Amontillado 2001 at the Copa Jerez 2023 final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2178,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1107],"tags":[1133,1150,1255,1248,1126,1099,1266,1095],"class_list":["post-3464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pairings","tag-amontillado","tag-pairing","tag-restaurants","tag-restaurants-en","tag-jerez-vintages","tag-sherry-wines","tag-vintage-jerez-wines","tag-williams-humbert"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3464"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3464\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4220,"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3464\/revisions\/4220"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
