Fino from the riverside bodega in El Puerto de Santa María; lighter and more delicate than Jerez-city Finos due to the Atlantic coastal influence on the cellar microclimate.

What it pairs with

  • Gambas a la plancha
    Grilled prawns with sea salt and lemon are the El Puerto waterfront classic.
  • Fried fish platter (pescaíto frito)
    Crispy mixed seafood with coarse salt is the traditional Cádiz provincial pairing.
  • Olives and crisps
    Briny, fatty snacks are elevated by the wine's clean cutting acidity.

History

Gutiérrez Colosía's Fino is produced from their riverside bodega on the Avenida Bajamar in El Puerto de Santa María, where the Guadalete river meets the sea. The Atlantic conditions of this location moderate cellar temperatures and sustain flor yeast activity, producing a Fino that is lighter and more delicate than typical Jerez-city expressions.
