History
Jarana Fino is part of Lustau's Solera Reserva range, which highlights individually selected soleras rather than blended production lots. The name Jarana (a festive party in Andalusian vernacular) reflects the wine's convivial, food-friendly character as a Fino designed for the table rather than solo sipping.
