"The NV A. Veracuz, a wine without DO Jerez, which therefore cannot be called Amontillado, so they had to resort to putting "A." on the label. This is from the same winery from the Pago Veracruz in Trebujena, but each wine was in the hands of a different member of the family (in the past, they released old Olorosos and a PX). This is a one-off, a very old Amontillado, with the textbook character of very old wine, a green edge and a concentrated nose with notes of low tide and rusty nail, iodine and tar. It has a super intense palate, sharp as a knife, saline and the Trebujena character with some rusticity, with concentration from the warmer climate, with less influence from the ocean. It's a wine that falls back on the throat with a rugged texture, and it has a very long finish. They estimate this might be 60 years old. Some 600 half bottles were filled in June 2025. This should be indestructible...97pts" — Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate

"Continuing with the Trebujena saga from the Veracruz vineyard, we have been able to complete another piece of the family puzzle, acquiring the last remaining wines from one of the branches of the original owning family.
 
The Amontillado Veracruz is a very old Amontillado, approximately 40 years old, which has not been re-ripened for the last 12 years. The wine was significantly diminished, and we were only able to bottle 600 half-bottles to share with discerning wine lovers.
 
The wine is a burst of saltiness and texture, with a very appealing rustic touch typical of Trebujena." - Ramiro Ibáñez

More about M. Ant. De La Riva

De la Riva is one of Jerez's great old sherry names, brought back to life and now bottling wines that put the pago, the individual vineyard district, ahead of the house blend.

Manuel Antonio de la Riva y Pomar (1838–1909), who came to Jerez from Cantabria, built the house in the 19th century around 53 hectares in Pago Macharnudo, one of the oldest and most prized vineyard areas in the region, on very pure white albariza limestone. The family held it until Domecq bought the brand in the early 1970s, and it then sat dormant through a series of corporate mergers. In 2017 two of the most influential young voices in the region revived it: Willy Pérez of Bodegas Luis Pérez and Ramiro Ibáñez of Cota 45.

Their aim is to bring back the old Jerez habit of bottling wines that show where they come from. The range includes unfortified vinos de pasto from Macharnudo, Palomino aged briefly under flor; finos and manzanillas from named pagos such as Balbaína and Miraflores; and tiny lots of very old wine rescued from forgotten casks and bottled in half bottles. These are sherries for people who want to taste the place, with real depth and saline cut.
