Overview:
Lustau En Rama Fino El Puerto Saca captures the essence of El Puerto de Santa María, a coastal town where mild weather conditions nurture the growth of the yeast known as flor, which plays a key role in the development of this Fino Sherry. Aged for five years under flor in American oak casks, this Fino is bottled without treatment, preserving its purity and authenticity. Released with an intense yellow color and golden hues, it expresses the true character of the region's unique environmental influences, bringing a briny, dry, and complex profile.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is pungent and lively, with notes that evoke the fresh Atlantic breeze, roasted almonds, and hay. On the palate, it is bone dry and briny, with a refreshing crispness and a long, lingering, bitter aftertaste that is characteristic of the classic Fino from El Puerto. The aging process in oak enhances its complexity while maintaining the hallmark freshness and delicacy of Fino Sherry. This Fino is a great accompaniment to seafood dishes such as grilled fish, clams, and shrimp. It also pairs excellently with tapas like salted almonds, olives, and manchego cheese. The dryness and briny notes make it a perfect pairing for light appetizers, Iberian ham, and even fresh salads.
