Fino Cb Bodega Alvear Montilla-moriles
Wine Montilla-Moriles is an area of Andalucian wine production that has, in recent years, fallen under the shadow of its larger neighbour, Jerez. It grows the same grapes, uses the 'flor' yeast and cask ageing in a Solera system to make similar wines, the fundamental difference being that Montilla are never fortified and only achieve natural alcohol levels. It has been 275 years since Don Diego de Alvear y Escalera began, in 1729, production in the town of Montilla, an hours drive north of Malaga,. The firm is still in family hands to this day, eight generations later, and guards its traditions alongside embracing modern technological developments in the largest bodega in Analucia. C.B. comes from Carlos Billanueva, the cellar master who in the early XIXth century marked the casks containing the best wines with his initials. £9.99
