Alexandro Fino – NV (375ml)

Importer’s Notes:

The Alexandro Fino Sherry is a fresh and vibrantly young expression of the Fino style of dry Sherry. Coming from 100% Palomino, the grapes were fermented in stainless steel and resulted in an 11% wine that was then fortified with neutral grape brandy to 15%. This alcohol degree, combined with the climate of the region, and the old giant cellars of barrels (Criadera systems) in Jerez, come together to create the perfect condition for the famous flor yeast to appear on top of the aging Sherry. By law, Fino must age for at least two years under Flor before it can be bottled. Since this Sherry is meant to be fresher and younger in style, it was bottled not long after the required time (around 3 years), and released for immediate and delicious consumption. The result is expressive on the nose with almonds, Mediterranean herbs, and sea-spray. The delicate and bone-dry palate has briny bitter almonds, crunchy autumn leaves, and the classic Flor quality that pairs ideally with so many quintessential tapas foods, mild cheeses, and a range of seafoods.
