If the Palomino grape were to grow elsewhere, it would be susceptible to oxidation (darkening and spoiling), but the magical combination of the soil and the prevailing humidity promotes the growth of the protective flor yeast.
The Fino Tio Pepe Sherry has exceptional dryness and earthy aromas. Like Port, Sherry is a "fortified" wine, meaning extra alcohol is added to bring the alcohol content to about 16 percent by volume. The 100% Palomino Fino has been aged entirely in oak barrels. The Fino is a fresh sherry with lots of aroma and character. Enjoy a nice chilled drink at a temperature of 6 - 8°C. An excellent aperitif, accompanied by nuts, olives, ham (and then of course the real Bellota Iberico ham .
