Barbadillo is one of the best known and largest producers in Sanlucar de Barrameda. The Reliquia release is only 80 375ml bottles a year, so it doesn't get much scarcer than these.

"There is a new saca in a new bottle format of the otherworldly NV Reliquia Amontillado, now bottled in half bottles, with a different handmade label every year (and even the back labels are personalized with the bottle number and the name of the distributors and importers, as the wines are assigned by allocation to them). The wines are very similar, stable and sustainable as long as they keep from the temptation to bottle more; they are taken in minute quantities from the barrels to maintain the extremely old average age. This has infinite concentration. Only 80 half bottles are filled each October and hit the market around Christmas. The price is for a 375-milliliter bottle." 98 points Luis Gutierrez The Wine Advocate
