Fino Tres Palmas, González Byass, Jerez
Almost caramel in hue, stylistically this sits between Fino and Amontillado. Intense and vibrant on the nose, with notes of spiced citrus rind, wood-smoke and antique wood. It is concentrated on the palate, with linear grapefruit citrus melding with darker, savoury hazelnut, black tea and toasted-sourdough notes. Incredibly dry and nutty with a finish that lasts for over a minute.
This was awarded the International trophy for the Best in Show Dry Fortified over £15 in the Decanter World Wine Awards 2013. “Extraordinarily beautiful palate with an intense, sea-salty richness. Nutty and robust, with splendid fruit, toffee and orange peel, and a rich kernel finish.”
**Designed to be consumed within 9 months of bottling**
