Fino: the driest type of sherry wines

Fino is a dry, pale wine produced within the D.O. Jerez / Xéres / Sherry. It has an ABV between 15 and 18%. Some of the most renowned Finos include Tio Pepe (Gonzalez Byass), La Ina (Lustau) and Inocente (Valdespino) 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 while at the same time transforming the wine as it ages. Maturation of at least 2 years in wooden barrels is prescribed by law. However the majority of Finos are aged between four and seven years.

From Bodegas Valdospino, one of the oldest bodegas in the area – they trademarked this particular fino in 1894 but they’ve been making it much longer.
