12,92 

Organic fino wine, with natural alcohol content and ageing under flower veil (cap or “flor” of yeast) in an American oak barrel for two years.

The flower veil (cap or “flor” of yeast) is a layer of indigenous yeasts which grow on the surface of the wine, preventing its contact with oxygen. The action of yeast imbues the wine with an extraordinary aroma.

Tasting notes

Fragrant, delicate and potent at the same time. Standing out from its aromas are fruit and fresh aromas, keeping its youth, which are very characteristic of this fino and which differentiates it from the rest. Also having toasty, flower veil (veil of flor yeast) , almond and Mediterranean forest aromas. Warm and very persistent on the palate
