Fino Los Amigos
Los Amigos is a fino made without being fortified, thanks to the high concentration of sugars in the Pedro Ximénez grapes. For those who are not yet very familiar with the traditional Andalusian wines, a perfect choice as an introduction to this fascinating world; while for everyone else, a fino that represents excellent value for money, one that is dry and light, slightly bitter and pleasantly crisp, with its delightful hints of wood and dried fruit and nuts.

About the vineyard[+]
The Montilla-Moriles Denomination of Origin is located in the south of the province of Cordoba and, although its wines can sometimes be confused with those of Jerez, because they are also made using the traditional system of soleras and criaderas, they are quite different. They are very aromatic wines, with a velvety texture and a hazelnut background, characterised by the fact that they are made mainly from Pedro Ximénez grapes, a grape rich in sugars. There are three basic types of Montilla wine: young fruity, crianza and fortified. Depending on the ripeness of the grapes, there are finos, amontillados and oloroso. Originally from the area we find the sweet Pedro Ximénez, made from this grape variety, which is becoming increasingly popular. The climate is Mediterranean with a certain continental character, although not very marked, as it is dry and semi-arid. Summers are long, hot and dry. Winters are short and cold.
