WINE DESCRIPTION
In 1992, the current owner, Don José Paez Morilla, creator of Bodegas Dios Baco, S.L., acquired this complex with the intention of reentering the challenging world of Sherry, maintaining unmatched quality and limited production, in line with the original principles of its foundation. The Dios Baco winery, built in 1848, was part of a group known as "The Twelve Disciples." Today, only three wineries remain: Bodega Dios Baco, Bodega de la Cruz, and Bodega Pio XII. The first is the most emblematic and lends its name to our company, reflecting our tradition and excellence.

On the palate, this wine displays a harmonious balance between its dryness and richness. The flavors of roasted nuts and dried fruits continue to shine, accompanied by a pleasant salinity that is characteristic of Amontillado sherries. The wine's medium body and smooth texture contribute to a lingering finish, leaving a lasting impression on the taste buds.

Its nutty and savory notes make it an excellent companion for cured meats, aged cheeses, and roasted poultry.
