History

Fino Marismeño takes its name from the Marismas, the coastal marshlands near the Guadalquivir delta where Sánchez Romate sources Palomino Fino from albariza soils influenced by the Atlantic. The wine has been produced since the 1960s as the house's entry-level Fino for everyday consumption.
