Fino Bella Luna 15%, Sanchez Romate

Appearance
Pale strawy gold, virtually no legs.
Nose
Slightly waxy at first, dry, then the flor hits with dough, almond and traces of membrillo and background marmite, quite an attractive nose which develops.
Palate
Good and dry with trace acidity and lots of flor bitterness, and yet well rounded with a clean, long finish.  No great age, but has a certain seriousness.A good glass of Fino.
Comments
There are three wines in the Bella Luna range: PX, Amontillado and Fino, all available in half bottles only, which is a good price for people to try them. They are all made by Sanchez Romate in Jerez, and have the quality you would expect from this fine bodega.
Price
About the £7 mark. Reasonably widely available. UK importer Enotria.
