Lustau's “En Rama” involves bottling the wine straight from the cask with no additional treatment. This process usually takes place in spring, when the layer of living yeast, known as “flor” reaches its zenith. Thus, Sherry’s natural character is fully maintained and the resulting wine is one of great personality, influenced by the microclimate of the town in which it is aged.
El Puerto de Santa Maria is located in the bay of Cádiz and the area can turn into a bit of a marshland during low tides. El Puerto enjoys a mild climate all year round. The style of Fino del Puerto does, conveniently, combine the best of both worlds: fullness of flavour and a delicate sea breeze character, sometimes with an intensely briny, reductive character that really makes it stand out.
Deep yellow in colour with golden highlights. Very lively and expressive, with notes of toasted almonds, hay and a pronounced iodine character with hints of sea breeze. Dry and saline, with a long, elegant finish, true to the style of Finos from El Puerto.
Please note this is a pre-release offer. We expect the wines to be ready for shipping in July.
