Bodegas Toro Albala Eléctrico Fino Solera 5 Años NV
Montilla-Moriles, SpainThe fino Eléctrico is a classic wine that has been taking part in Andalusian people's lives since 1922. Toro Albalá's foundational winery is settled in the zone's first power plant, which gave birth to jokes between the natives that said that the wine had electricity or that it was electric. This is a solera that began 65 years ago, though the wine is no more than ten years old (averaging five), meaning it's a fino with extended time under flor, adding to its complexity. As with all finos from Montilla, no fortification is needed for the flor to thrive. Bone dry and svelte, with marcona almond, herbal meadow grass, subtle wild lemon and ample flake sea salts running the long, nutty palate. This is less overtly marine salty than its coastal Jerez counterparts, and its mellow nature adds to its appeal.
