15% ABV. Toro Albalá's Fino En Rama hails from the chalky vineyards of the Moriles Alto district, considered the area's finest quality zone. It's a fino that differs from its Jerez counterparts on two counts: firstly it is made from 100% Pedro Ximénez and secondly it is not fortified (as the grapes get naturally ripe enough). The average age of the bottled wine is around five years and it's a deliciously tangy, salty, oyster-shell noted wine that disappears as quickly as it is poured. A remarkable bargain.

"Saline tang dominates the palate, but there is a lovely, vinous, fine citrusy feel here too, so different from other sherry and so much more accessible. Good length, unreal freshness, crisp, saline finish. Utterly wonderful stuff." 93 points, Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, July 2016
