This is a 100% pedro ximenez fino from Alvear in Montilla Moriles.

Pale and clear in colour and not the liveliest nose – faint hay bales, maybe some unsalted nuts. 

Smooth and salty. Very “fine” in texture for a 100% px and again not overly expressive. Nice punch to it but not zing or real intensity in sherry terms. For flavours: salty with a bit of nut you would say.

Another very elegant fino – this one a bit meek for my tastes.
