Toro Albala Eléctrico Fino del Lagar 500ml NV

Toro Albalá Eléctrico Fino del Lagar is an unfortified fino made entirely from Pedro Ximénez, aged under flor in the Eléctrico solera.

Fino is normally a Palomino wine from Jerez, fortified to around 15 per cent so that a veil of flor yeast can develop and protect it from oxygen. Montilla-Moriles works differently: Pedro Ximénez ripens to such high sugar in the heat inland from Córdoba that the base wine reaches the required strength on its own, and Toro Albalá adds no spirit at all. The Eléctrico solera, at the estate's former power station premises in Aguilar de la Frontera, produces a powerful and complex fino with vivid green apple, lemon peel, grilled almond and iodine character. Working without fortification gives a particularly pure and vinous expression of the style, and the Pedro Ximénez itself contributes texture and depth that Palomino would not.

Drink it fresh and finish the bottle within a few days of opening; serve well chilled at 8-10C with olives, salted almonds, anchovies or fried fish.
