Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Golden amber with warm copper highlights; lighter than oloroso but richer than bourbon, fino's elegant middle ground
Nose
Elegant and nutty — almond, hazelnut, green olive, dried apricot, vanilla, sea salt. Fino sherry's distinctive dry character meets tropical fruit. Floral, citrus zest, light honey. More restrained and savoury than other Solists
Palate
Medium-full body. Nutty and elegant — almond, hazelnut, dried apricot, vanilla, gentle salt, green apple. Fino's biological aging character adds unique savoury dimension. Honey, citrus, white pepper. Drier and more complex than oloroso
Finish
Long finish. Nutty, savoury, dried fruit, gentle salt. Fino's elegance persists — almond and apricot linger. A sophisticated, less-sweet alternative in the Solist range
