Grapes are sourced from vineyards in the Jerez district. This Sherry wine is made from the first pressing of grapes, this gives a light fresh style. Fermentation takes place at relatively high temperatures to reduce fruit flavour. It undergoes malolactic fermentation and in February the sherry is fortified with grape brandy up to 15% abv. The wine then begins its ageing process under flor. Only 20% of finished wine can be removed from the Solera in one year. The average age of the Fino solera is 4-4.5 years old.
This "En Rama" is bottled only in Spring and Autumn, when the flor is thickest. Each bottle is marked with the bottling date and are bottled largely unfiltered and unfined - straight from the barrel - to preserve the intensity and complexity of the wine.
Tasting note: A Golden sherry - darker than a normal fino as it has not been carbon-filtered. Intensely nutty and savoury on the palate with a distinct character of fresh bread with a salty kick. Dry, with a bitter twist. Best enjoyed at 6-8 degrees C.
Food match: Served chilled with salted almonds and seafood tapas.
