How to serve Fino del Puerto

Allow 5 minutes from open to pour.

  1. Open and pour. Open and pour directly; no decanting is needed for this style.
  2. Serve at 7-9°C. Serve at 7-9°C, as the producer advises. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder mutes the aromatics.
  3. Glassware. Use a Sherry copita or white-wine glass.
  4. Pair with the food. Iberico ham, Marcona almonds, Sushi and sashimi. Match the wine's weight to the dish.

History

Aged five years in the cool, humid air of El Puerto de Santa Maria, where the producer says flor grows in ideal conditions, served at 7 to 9 degrees as an aperitif.
