Consider pairing Del Duque 30 Year Old Amontillado with salted nuts cured meats and fish or even game.
* A complex way of maturing not just Sherry but also rums brandies and vinegars. The solera system is a series of barrels with the oldest on the bottom and the youngest on the top.

This fractional blending ensures continuity and consistency but also that the youngest wine have less influence.
