Pale bright golden straw, legs.
Nose
An attractive bitter flor edge to the nose, slightly saline with traces of dried flowers and bitter almond, very dry but with a background hint of palomino fruit. Perfect aperitif wine.
Palate
Good and dry, bitter even, with plenty of flor influence yet still that teasing hint of fruit to balance. Light clean and tight with real powers to give one an appetite, decent acidity and good length. A younger version of Don Zoilo.
Comments
Made from Palomino Fino grapes from the Pago Balbaina in Jerez Superior, the wine goes through 6 criaderas before reaching the solera, and is bottled at a little over 5 years old. One wonders if this is the wine they used to call Pando. It is certainly very good.
Price
Around £10.00 UK importer is Ehrmanns, who can advise on availability
