For me, the standard bearer of fino. Quince, rising white dough (yes, I remember the smell when I used to bake in a restaurant), sea foam & on & on. Such concentration of flavor. Oh, and about 12 bucks (for a 375ml) bottle.

July 4th surprise headliner to a meal of cold cucumber soup (buttermilk, anchovies, etc) & Argentine wild shrimp sautéed in coconut oil, w ginger, coriander & scallion. Truly a pedigree fino that seems to shape shift & adapt to every flavor profile. What is a constant is it’s vigor & freshness, but not light: Yeasty, round, bouillon cubes. The Zelig of wine.....?

Down to the sea in ships! Nuts, Olives w brine, baking yeast, a saline delight. Always consistent. On a 80° early evening, with ersatz Spanish food. Cod in orange and smoked paprika, leftover paella, asparagus… A winner. Love it.

Not as aromatic as The manzanilla, but the caramel has moved from the nose to the palate. Stone cold refreshment.
