To nothing
You cannot talk about vintages with amontillado wine due to its production characteristics.
crafting system
It is the result of subjecting fine wine to oxidative aging for many years. The fino maintains its peculiar “veil of flower” while it is replaced with wine from other younger criaderas, which contain wines from more recent harvests. If it stops "sprinkling", the flower gradually disappears and a slow transformation begins that will culminate in the birth of the king of generous wines: amontillado.
Gastronomy
It is an excellent accompaniment to any salty appetizer, such as cured cheese, olives or almonds. It can also be paired with any type of beef, chicken or rabbit. Classically it has also been used as an accompaniment to soups and consommés.
