Pago Aylés Unexpected Syrah is a Spanish red wine from the Aragon region produced at the prestigious Pago Aylés winery. This wine is made from 100% Syrah giving it an intense, deep ruby ​​colour and a rich aroma of ripe black fruits such as blackberries and plums with notes of spice, chocolate, vanilla and light smoke. The palate is full bodied and well structured with velvety tannins, good acidity and a long, elegant finish. It pairs perfectly with grilled meats, game, Mediterranean dishes, and mature cheeses.

Aged following a biological aging in the cool and humid air of the port town of El Puerto de Santa María, where the flor grows in ideal environmental conditions.
Pale straw colour, dry, light and smooth. This Fino is laced with scents of the sea and profound “flor” aromas. Clean and fresh, with a slight taste of tangy yeast.

Barbadillo’s Finos are more Manzanilla-like in style, but are aged in Bodegas with less exposure to the cooling sea breezes. The flor in the barrels grows vigorously in these cellars so the wine is a little more nutty and toasty than the more appley and yeasty Manzanillas of Sanlucar.

Fino style Sherries age under a layer of “flor” (a naturally occurring layer of yeast that grows on top of the wine in the barrel); this ensures the wines do not oxidise as there is no exposure to the air. The cooler maritime microclimate of Sanlúcar ensures flor grows particularly thickly all year round producing these very fresh, tangy Manzanillas, unlike the more oxidised Finos aged in the inland town of Jerez, where the flor dies back in the winter and summer months.
