The Story

If Amontillado is the pinnacle of traditional fortified wines, our Gran Barquero represents definition, finesse, the warmest, gastronomic and exemplary profile. The ideal of a current Amontillado in which elegance and complexity, sensory appeal and a sense of origin meet. The long aging under the velo de flor —more than 10 years—, followed by oxidative aging for no less than 15 years, manage to raise an irresistible personality, appreciated throughout the world.

About Perez Barquero

Producer Story

Our landscape is the soft albariza hills of the best states in the Sierra de Montilla and Moriles Alto. Our world is in the vineyard and also between jars and casks, in the silence of our traditional wineries. Our base is respect for the vineyard, an expert oenology and an innovative vocation. This is how we get the range of young, generous wines and brandies from Pérez Barquero. The expression of the terroir and the Montilla-Moriles winemaking tradition.
