The Toro Albalá Poley Fino del Lagar 10 Años NV is a beautifully concentrated and complex aged Fino from Montilla-Moriles in southern Spain, produced by one of the region’s benchmark traditional houses. Aged biologically under flor for around ten years in old American oak casks, the wine showcases the remarkable depth and saline intensity that develop with extended ageing while retaining freshness and precision. The nose reveals preserved lemon, green olive and toasted almond layered alongside chamomile, bread dough and subtle savoury spice, giving the wine impressive complexity and lift.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, intense saline character and a long nutty finish. Layers of citrus peel, roasted nuts and savoury flor complexity are balanced by chalky minerality and remarkable freshness, finishing bone dry, textured and beautifully persistent with exceptional detail and structure.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The Toro Albalá Poley Fino del Lagar 10 Años NV is a superb traditionally aged Fino — savoury, saline and deeply complex with outstanding freshness and intensity. Perfect with jamón ibérico, olives, anchovies, fried seafood, almonds or tapas-style dishes. Best served well chilled and enjoyed over the next few years once opened.
