Equipo Navazos La Bota de Fino Sherry

Jerez-Xérès-Sherry DO, Spain

En rama, single-cask Fino from a selected Jerez solera. Bone-dry with an extraordinary living-yeast vitality — green apple, fresh almond, sea breeze, saline mineral and biting acidity; one of the most intensely mineral wines in the world.

Pairing intelligence

• aperitif: Fino's acidity and saline mineral character are the definitive Andalusian match for vinegar-marinated anchovies.
• aperitif: The world's finest ham and Spain's most complex aperitif wine: Fino's yeasty almond cuts the fat of Bellota Ibérico perfectly.
• starter: Fino Sherry and garlic prawns is one of Spain's most celebrated food-wine pairings — the wine's acidity and minerality lift the prawn sweetness.
