The reputation — the story that sells at the table
Valdespino's Inocente Fino is universally acknowledged as the finest Fino Sherry in existence — a wine that has converted hundreds of sceptics to Sherry's greatest expression. The single-vineyard, barrel-fermented approach produces a wine of extraordinary saline, walnut, and chamomile complexity that has no peers in the denomination.
Practice
Valdespino traces its recorded history to 1264 and claims to be one of the oldest active wine producers in Spain. The estate's crown jewel is the Inocente single-vineyard Fino — the only Fino Sherry still fermented and aged in old American oak barrels (rather than stainless steel) from a single pagoda vineyard. The result is a Fino of incomparable complexity and depth.
