Valdespino Inocente Fino Jerez DO

Jerez-Xérès-Sherry DO, Spain
The world's finest Fino Sherry — the only single-vineyard, barrel-fermented Fino in production. From the Inocente pago (plot) of albariza chalk soils, fermented in old American oak and aged under flor yeast in a 4-criadera solera system. Pale straw with extraordinary complexity: chamomile, green olive, salted almond, and flint over a bone-dry, mineral palate of remarkable depth. The barrel-fermentation adds textural richness impossible in stainless steel. A wine that requires undivided attention.

classic starter
complement
The chalk-baked sardine preparation that mirrors the Fino's own albariza terroir: a wine-food pairing of complete geological logic
