(Spain) A true Amontillado Sherry is a matured Fino. When the flor dies and sinks to the bottom of the butt the wine loses its protection from oxidation conferred by the coating of yeast, and it begins to deepen and develop a rich, nutty flavour. Cheaper Amontillado is made by fortifying the wine, killing the yeast.
