Winemaker Notes
It performs best at temperatures ranging from 9/10º C, where it shows a lighter and fresher profile, to 13/14º C, where it fully displays its complex and rich aromatic range. On the table it is a most versatile wine: lamb sweetbreads al ajillo, red tuna sushi.

The Navazos team selected 20 of Bodega Valdespino's oldest fino butts for the base of this wine, an addictive substance laden with humid aromas of the sea combinded with earthier, lighly mineral flavors. The cloud of aromas is sustained by briny acidity that penetrated the palate, while allowing fruitier notes of green apple and flowers to emerge. It's an orgy of sensations, of mineral and marine force, in a complex and profound Fino.
Sherry is a fortified wine that comes in many styles from dry to sweet. True Sherry can only be made in Andalucía, Spain where the soil and unique seasonal changes give a particular character to its wines. The process of production—not really the grape—determine the type, though certain types are reserved for certain grapes. Palomino is responsible for most dry styles; Pedro Ximénez and Muscat of Alexandria are used for blending or for sweet styles.
Known more formally as Jerez de la Frontera, Jerez is a city in Andalucía in southwest Spain and the center of the Jerez region and sherry production. Sherry is a mere English corruption of the term Jerez, while in French, Jerez is written, Xérès. Manzanilla is the freshest style of sherry, naturally derived from the seaside town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
