Description

Bodegas Toro Albalá Fino Eléctrico En Rama NV

The 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. The famous name of the fino “Eléctrico” originates from that story, as well as the original lightbulb bottle design.

Grape Varietals & Region: Eléctrico is a fino wine made of 100% Pedro Ximénez grapes, from Montila in Andalucia, Spain

Taste Profile: Straw-like yellow with greenish reflections. Almond and toasted touches as well as bakery aromas. Dry wine with pleasant acidity and salinity, and a light bitter ending.

Winemaking Process: Biological ageing under veil of flor, produced through the criaderas and solera system during a 5-year period. The alcohol content is obtained in a natural way. A very pleasant wine that invites you to keep drinking.

Dry & Yeasty Whites

Open tank fermentation, lees stirring, pumping over and racking can all play a role during vinification, while oxidative aging in allows gradual air contact with the wine. Oak barrels & concrete tanks are most often used for such styles, and the more intense styles are often made under flor

Expect notes of yeasty umami notes, as well as almon, dried apricot, and salinity

Oxidative Wines

A wine that is deliberately exposed to oxygen, usually as a result of open fermentors, or using porous vessel like oak barrels or Georgian amphorae. These wines tend to exhibit more nutty, dried fruit & saline notes, and typically have a darker color to them
