The Macharnudo Alto vineyard, which is 56.2 hectares, is planted with the Palomino Fino also for the Tio Diego Amontillado. Valdespino is the only one in Jerez that makes Single Vineyard Sherry's. The white bottom is called "albariza" and is very chalky. The harvest is manual. Valdespino is also qualitatively distinctive in the way its sherries are produced: all Valdespino sherries are cemented into used wooden barrels (much more work than the use of stainless steel as all other producers do today). Valdespino uses a longer bearing for its sherries than required by law. This way they know how to keep their products at their own higher quality. The Tio Diego Amontillado for example has an average age of more than 14 years!

This Amontillado is amber colored. With a clear impression of ripening under the flor, dried hazelnut and an elegant toffee caramel tone. Very dry and broad taste with balanced acids. The Tio Diego Amontillado is a refined, mature sherry, the perfect aperitif. In addition to the combination with a powerful consommé double, there are also good combinations with meat from the Iberico pig, for example.
