Vintage
An exclusive, handcrafted ecologically aged Listán Blanco selection from the historical ?Cascos Bodeguero Santa Ana and Miraflores? dating from 1822 and 1740 in Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Cádiz). The ?albariza? soil and the botas (barrels), are Sanlúcar?s two principal factors creating terroir for Sherry. Sourced from the sub-zone categorised as Jerez Superior, the albariza soils are influenced by The Atlantic and the mouth of The Guadalquivir river. The proximity to the sea allows for a slow, quality maturity process thanks to the moderate temperatures. The harvest starts end August and lasts until early September.

Winemaking
The free run juice must is decanted cold for 24 hours in stainless steel deposits. The alcoholic fermentation occurs at a temperature of between 15º and 22ºC during approximately 10 days and using native yeasts. After fermentation, the most elegant and fine wines are carefully selected in order to start the biological ageing, fortifying them at a maximum of 15,5% ABV.

Aging
Once fortified, the wine is put into the ?criaderas & soleras? ageing system and biologically aged under the veil (?velo de flor?), aged in century old ?botas? (barrels) and casks of American oak of between 500 and 900L until the wine achieves the average age of 8 years. The oldest "bota" (cask) in the "Solera Miraflores" dates back to 1822.

Tasting notes
Colour
Nothing defines Fino better than its pale, bright brilliant, gold colour and clean, delicate aromas.
Nose
Medium to high aromatic intensity, toasty aromas and aromas of almonds, fresh bread dough and open fields, yielding a deliciously dry and authentic taste.
Mouth
Saline, very dry yet with subtle fruit, enveloping and persistent.
Pairing
Served well chilled, Fino is perfect with fish and seafood, Ibérico ham, or smoked salmon. Its low acetic acid content combines exceptionally well with dishes of marked acidity, like the classic pre-dinner snacks, olives, anchovies, eggs or any fish.
