Sherrybarrel 500 l - Fino

Freshly emptied sherry fino barrels. The barrels were used for approx. 30 years. The staves of the freshly emptied barrels are still saturated with the unfiltered sherry.

Production and characteristics:
Fino is made from the Palomino grape and undergoes a special ageing process known as "biological ageing". This means that the wine matures during storage under a protective layer of yeasts (flor), which prevents oxidation. Biological ageing gives Fino its characteristic dry taste and freshness.

Aroma and taste:
Fino has a light straw yellow to pale gold color. The aroma is characterized by floral notes, almonds and a hint of sea salt. The taste is dry, light, with a refreshing acidity and a subtle bitterness on the finish. Fino sherry is a wonderful choice for lovers of dry, light wine who appreciate the complexity and nuances of organic ageing.

Pre-finished wooden barrels: Notches in the wood, external stress cracks or possibly an uneven bottom are not quality defects, but are rather determined by the nature of the construction and the previous use of the barrels. This does not affect the functionality of the barrel. We check the barrels very carefully for sensory and technical defects during the outgoing inspection. We accept no liability for cracks or fissures that occur during maturation. A possible and reasonable repair is not covered by guarantee.
