El Maestro Sierra was established in 1830 by Jose Antonio Sierra who started out as a cooper making barrels for some of the biggest sherry houses. Nowadays the bodega is run by an all women team and produces some of the most sought after wines in the region.
Amoroso is a semi-sweet style produced by blending predominantly dry Oloroso with a small portion of sweet PX. The origins of this wine date back to a time when workers would stop at the bodega's shop on their way home and besides ordering their usual wines they would also ask for a large bottle of Oloroso with a touch of Pedro Ximenez, for their wives, so the wine would taste more "amoroso" or loveable.
Nowadays the blend is made of 90% 15yo Oloroso with 10% Pedro Ximenez aged in barrel for a further 4 years.
