VALDESPINO

Valdespino Fino Inocente (Single Vineyard) 375ml

Trust your Taste

Roasted almond and a pungent, savoury aroma lead this distinctive Fino. Delicate yet firmly shaped, it has a rounded, almost buttery middle and a long mineral finish. Try it well chilled with seafood or smoked salmon.

How this wine feels

This is dry and moderately weighted, with little grip. A rounded middle softens the firm outline, while almond and mineral flavours linger. Ripe fruit is very restrained.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
