González Byass’ Fino de Añada 2011 is a remarkably rare single‑vintage Fino. A style that defies the solera tradition and is only bottled in exceptional years. 2011, marked by generous rainfall and a slow ripening season, produced outstanding Palomino grapes from the Macharnudo and Carrascal vineyards, deemed worthy of this unique static aged expression. Drawn from a single cask after seven years under flor, it shows pale gold hues and a refined nose of flor yeast, toasted almonds, and chamomile. The palate is bone-dry and feather-light, with lifted salinity, fine bitterness, and a lingering, elegant finish.

Pair it with delicate seafood, sashimi, marinated white anchovies, or soft goat’s cheese. It thrives on purity, precision, and the umami edge.
