SHERRY/MONTILLA

Question 1

Fino, Ynocente, Valdespino NV. Jerez de la Frontera ($7, $9)

Answer 1

• the Palomino grapes for this wine come from one single vineyard
• Where all other Finos are blended from multiple sources, this one uses only grapes from Macharnudo Alto, a high-altitude area renowned for its pure Albariza soil. The vines are 25 years old.
• a very wide and rich nose for a relatively large-scale Fino, with a little more oak as well. It shows all the qualities of pure Albariza soils: mineral notes of warm chalk and ocean breeze. Dried hay. Light toast. Salted almonds.

Question 2

Fino en Rama, Tio Pepe, Gonzalez Byass. NV, Jerez de la Frontera ($7, $9)

Answer 2

• This unclarified and unfiltered super fresh Fino is loved by many for its unique, fresh from the cask experience.
• En Rama is alive with flavour and has more nutty and yeasty aromas than the usual Tio Pepe and on the palate it is fresh and citrusy, with a complex, saline finish
