Tucked in the gentle rolling hills of the picturesque town of Montilla, Bodegas Alvear was founded by Diego de Alvear y Escalera in 1729; making it the oldest winery in the Andalusia region. One of the most esteemed and recognized producers, Alvear has been a family owned winery for over 300 years and is now in its eighth generation. With each generation the family has maintained the historic property, while at the same time, kept up with any technical advancements in winemaking.
Tasting Notes
Pale straw in colour, fino sherry is tangy and clean with a refreshing finish. Ideal for warm summer days and perfectly paired with a variety of foods.
Method
Fino sherry is aged biologically under a veil of yeast, or “velo de flor” A layer of native yeasts develop over the wine, creating a creamy, foamy protective cap. This prevents the wine from oxidizing and adds complex nuttiness to the crisp and tangy white wine. Alvear Fino Sherry is made from 100% Pedro Ximenez grapes.
