This amontillado is made from the finest finos. After losing the flor veil that protected it in 1954, it began a long period of static oxidative ageing.
Time has transformed it into “Convento Selección”. Are wines that have aged for generations in amontillado barrels, so that the wine and wood could merge with time and result into an unmatchable flavour. Our bottling system is called “Convento Selección”, in honour to theCistercian monk system in which the wine is classified in their own series. The entire elaboration is handmade, following San Benito’s Recula Rule: “Living off the work of our hands.”. An exceptional wine of high complexity and elegance..
