Monis Fino NV (500ml) x 1 bottle - Provenance: Restaurant Mosaic Wine Cellar Collection
Monis is the Cape’s most longstanding brand of fortified wines, established in Paarl in 1906 by Italian Roberto Monis, a son of a prominent Tuscan winemaking and merchandising family. He soon became a prominent player in the South African wine industry and his name has become synonymous with premier fortified wines. This sherry was made from Chenin blanc grapes grown in Stellenbosch . The vineyards were grafted on Phylloxera resistant rootstock and received only supplementary irrigation . The vineyards are trellised on a five wire hedge system and yielded six tons per ha. The grapes were picked at optimum ripeness with full rounded flavours to withstand the impact of wood. The sherry was matured for three years in 500 liter Ciadera barrels inoculated with Flor yeast. After blending it was transferred to large 1150 liter Solera barrels for a further three years to create a dry, mouth-filling sherry. Monis Fino is a lower alcohol (15%) flor Sherry made in the traditional Spanish Manzanilla style.
