González Byass is producing this Fino Quinta for Osborne, one of the long-time flagship wines from this bodega. Fino Quinta is four and a half years old. The name quinta means fifth – it indicates the number of rows in the solera system.

A delicate aroma first; classic notes, like yeast and olive brine sit behind green almonds and chamomile. Faint honeyed and waxy notes and a hint of diesel, which is not uncommon for Fino produced in El Puerto. An interesting and unique character.  Bone dry on the palate, with firm bitter notes of grapefruit and lemon peel, as well as herbal tea, almond, green olive juice and Radicchio. A soft hint of smoke in the aftertaste. 

75cl

15% ABV

Domaine L’Ancienne Cure Jour de Fruit Monbazillac  is a wonderfully rich sweet wine made from low yields of late-harvested, botrytised, Semillon (90%) and Muscadelle (10%).  It has flavours of marzipan, orange peel and spices. Christian Roche has emerged in the last five years as one of the best growers in this appellation. A wonderful alternative to Sauternes, and better for youthful drinking.

Best drunk as an apéritif (with Roquefort), with foie-gras, melon, or with cakes and desserts.

37.5cl bottle.
