It is made entirely from Pedro Ximénez, the region’s signature white grape variety, grown under the warm and dry conditions of the Montilla countryside. Unlike many Finos from Jerez, this wine does not require fortification because the Pedro Ximénez grapes naturally achieve sufficient alcohol during fermentation. The finest dry musts are selected before the wine begins its prolonged biological ageing beneath a protective veil of flor yeast. It is matured through the traditional criaderas and solera system for an average of ten years in American oak barrels. This extended maturation is considerably longer than that of many youthful Finos, giving the wine greater aromatic depth, savoury complexity and textural presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine displays a straw-yellow colour with attractive golden and green reflections. Its piercing aromatic profile combines almonds, hazelnuts and breadcrumbs with hay, green vegetables, olives and subtle liquorice. Smoked and toasted nuances from the American oak complement the wine’s nutty and savoury character without obscuring its freshness. The palate is completely dry, broad and mouth-filling, yet remains silky, lively and controlled. A persistent bitterness gradually gives way to pronounced salinity, creating a long and distinctive finish. Bottled at 14.5% alcohol in a 500ml format, it offers a pure and characterful expression of biologically aged Pedro Ximénez. Serve it well chilled as an aperitif or alongside oysters, jamón ibérico, cured meats, salted almonds, fried seafood or slow-cooked oxtail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Intense and piercing\u003cbr\u003eAlmond, hazelnut, breadcrumbs, hay, green vegetables, olives, toasted American oak and subtle liquorice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Dry, silky and mouth-filling\u003cbr\u003eRoasted nuts, savoury flor character, dried herbs, olives and gentle toasted notes supported by lively freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Persistent and distinctly saline\u003cbr\u003eLingering nuttiness and controlled bitterness gradually giving way to an enduring salty impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaker – Bodegas Toro Albalá\u003cbr\u003eVarietal – Pedro Ximénez\u003cbr\u003eCountry – Spain\u003cbr\u003eRegion – Montilla-Moriles\u003cbr\u003eAppellation – Montilla-Moriles\u003cbr\u003eSize – 500ml\u003cbr\u003eABV – 14.5%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Toro Albala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44223808503895,"sku":"T-ALB-FINO-10","price":64.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/c6ebe41b-5c4f-4e46-af95-be5dbb33050f.webp?v=1788394730","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/toro-albala-poley-fino-del-lagar-10-anos-nv-500ml","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
