About this deal

It contains over 30 blends of Fino, Oloroso, Amontillado and the special Pedro Ximenez grape and is a global icon of sherry. While I’m not convinced she was an avid sherry drinker, Harveys is the only Spanish food brand to get a Royal Warrant from the late Queen.

A full bodied sherry with great balance this was previously known as Harveys Club Amontillado, but it has been repackaged and renamed. Harveys is a brand of Bodegas Fundador and while they’re mostly known for Harveys Bristol Cream, they also offer an interesting VORS range. The _ga cookie, installed by Google Analytics, calculates visitor, session and campaign data and also keeps track of site usage for the site's analytics report. Nose: a very nutty umami nose, with dried mushrooms and roasted hazelnuts, mixed with burnt orange peels and green walnuts.Further back in 2016 it already received the award for ‘Best Wine in the World’, the first Spanish wine to receive this prize.

However the real reason for featuring this sherry now, is the death of Queen Elizabeth II of course. To create Amontillado, a mature Fino is allowed to lose its flor, either by not replenishing or by a secondary fortification. The wood elements are perfectly in balance with the flavours and bring a soft vanilla edge to the nutty flavours.Whilst we endeavour the ensure the continued accuracy of all product, pricing and nutritional data at all times, we do not accept liability for any inaccuracies or incorrect information contained on this site. Founded in as far back as 1796 (making them over 200 years old) Harveys of Bristol have since been one of the UK's largest providers of Sherry to the UK. This is rather on the oxidative side of the spectrum, but we still find echoes of a coastal Fino profile underneath. It is easy to draw parallels to Gonzalez Byass’ VORS range, which also contains lightly sweetened Oloroso and Palo Cortado but an Amontillado that is totally dry. We have tried many amontillado's - some much more expensive than Harveys but we keep coming back -its got the right degree of dryness but is so smooth.
