Fino CB Alvear - 100% Pedro Ximénez
Fino CB Alvear is a distinguished wine crafted exclusively from 100% Pedro Ximénez grapes, showcasing the rich traditions of Bodegas Alvear. This exquisite fino undergoes biological aging under a layer of flor for over four years in American oak casks, utilizing the time-honored criaderas and soleras system, which involves periodic racking and refreshment of the casks. One of its unique features is that it is made from musts that are exceptionally rich in sugars, thus eliminating the need for fortification during any phase of its production and aging.
In appearance, Fino CB Alvear presents a pale, bright straw color that immediately captures the eye. On the nose, it reveals a clean, elegant profile with a hint of acidity and delicate notes reminiscent of fresh bread crumb and yeast. The palate is light yet dry, delivering a straightforward and flavorful experience, with subtle hints of dried fruits enhancing its complexity.
This fino serves as an excellent aperitif, perfectly complementing olives, salted almonds, or slices of ham. It pairs wonderfully with fried fish, tomato salad, or artichokes, and is surprisingly delightful when enjoyed alongside sushi.
