Bodegas Barbadillo Príncipe Amontillado VORS Sherry is a certified VORS amontillado from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, aged more than 30 years in Barbadillo’s oldest soleras. It is bottled at 21.5% ABV (43 proof) and is a world-class rarity.

The Story of Príncipe VORS

VORS stands for Vinum Optimum Rare Signatum, a certification reserved for sherries more than 30 years old that pass analysis and tasting by an expert panel. Príncipe VORS is drawn from old soleras kept in the 19th-century El Potro bodega in Sanlúcar’s Barrio Alto, the ancestral home of great amontillados. It begins life as a Manzanilla under flor and shows that origin in its steely intensity and monumental structure, the maximum expression of flor aging followed by decades of oxidative maturation.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Lemony sharpness and polished, well-integrated wood
• Palate: Rich, yeasty and savory, with tense, otherworldly fruit
• Finish: Long, harmonious and intensely saline

How to Enjoy

Serve at 16–18°C (61–64°F) in a wine glass and sip slowly. A small pour goes a long way; pair it with aged cheese, nuts or simply quiet contemplation.
