Pale, delicate and quietly captivating, the Fino del Puerto from Bodegas Lustau is a textbook expression of coastal finesse. Brilliant straw in colour, it opens with aromas of sea breeze, toasted almond and the faint tang of baker’s yeast, the pure scent of flor thriving in the humid Atlantic air of El Puerto de Santa María. On the palate, it’s bone dry, feather-light and impeccably clean, offering flavours of salted lemon, green olive and fresh sourdough. The finish is crisp and saline, leaving a subtle echo of the ocean. This is Fino at its most refined, elegant, pure, and effortlessly refreshing.
For when: the sun’s high, the sea’s near, and the tapas are calling.
Pairs with: Ibérico ham, salted almonds, sushi or grilled prawns.
If this wine were a place, it’d be a whitewashed terrace overlooking the Andalusian coast.
Made from 100% Palomino, this Fino is aged under a living veil of flor yeast in the cool, maritime cellars of El Puerto de Santa María, one of the three historic towns of the Sherry Triangle. Here, constant humidity and ocean breezes create ideal conditions for the flor to thrive, protecting the wine from oxidation and imparting its distinctive saline and nutty character.
Part of Lustau’s Solera Familiar range, the Fino del Puerto reflects the house’s hallmark precision and depth, a Sherry that’s both authentic and beautifully balanced.
Serve chilled at 7–9°C and enjoy it as the ultimate Andalusian aperitif: bright, briny, and endlessly evocative of the sea.
