Barbadillo Fino Sherry

WHY WE LOVE IT

  • Fino is a perfect aperitif or accompaniment to a wide variety of foods, as the dry profile stimulates the taste buds. It is best served chilled, at a temperature of between 40°F and 48°F.
  • It is made from the Palomino grape and biologically aged, entirely under a layer of flor. This cap of yeast prevents contact with the air, resulting in a yeasty, saline profile with notes of Mediterranean herbs, fresh dough and almonds.

Varietal Composition: 100% Palomino Fina

Elaboration: 100% Palomino aged under flor for an average of three years.

Tasting Notes: Straw yellow in color. The classic fino aromas are revealed on the nose; nuts, olives and the evocative suggestion of a patient ageing process. In the mouth it is sharp and exhibits full body and perfect balance.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND

Founded in 1821, Barbadillo is without question Sanlucar de Barrameda’s most iconic producer of Sherry.  The thing we appreciate most about Barbadillo is that they’ve remained staunchly committed to tradition in the face of continued growth – Base wines are all still fermented in house through the company’s network of sixteen historic bodegas and the variety and depth of their soleras is breathtaking.  With the Sherry category seeing more excitement than ever before in history, Barbadillo is delivering big time, with a panoply of single vineyard and heirloom releases. From their groundbreaking ‘Solear’ Manzanilla to their almost impossible to procure ‘Reliquia’ series and everything in between, tasting through the Barbadillo lineup is an inspirational and energizing experience.
