Amontillado is a medium dry variety of sherry, darker than fino but lighter than oloroso.

Named after the Montilla region in which it is principally made, an amontillado sherry is essentially a fino that has been allowed to age further and has thus become darker and more flavoured. However, the name is now commercially used as a simple measure of sweetness to label any sherry lying between a fino and an oloroso.
