The 2004 Fino en Rama is the first ever made vintage Fino. It was aged for two years in 500-liter American oak barrels. This non-fortified, unfiltered Sherry is loaded with flor (the yeast that forms a film on the surface of sherry during fermentation) and reveals aromas of roasted nuts and sea salt. Round and full-flavored on the palate, this lengthy effort is a superb example of its type. Alvear was established in 1729 by Don Diego de Alvear and has remained under family control ever since.
