Akilia Tosca Cerrada Palomino Fino en rama 2016

A distinctly oxidative take on Palomino Fino, the Tosca Cerrada 2016 offers complex aromas of bruised apple, salted nuts, chamomile, and dry hay, with hints of sherry-like flor character. The palate is bone dry, savoury, and textured, with a layered, almost umami depth and a long, saline finish.

Crafted by Mario Rovira from old-vine Palomino on limestone soils in Bierzo, and bottled en rama and unfiltered, this is a rare, oxidative white that bridges the worlds of still wine and fino sherry. A wine for the adventurous—perfect with anchovies, hard cheeses, or roasted poultry.
