Description
Product Code: FSZ02
From beautiful mountain vineyards near Cordoba in southern Spain, that fall outside the classical Denominacion de Origen of Jerez (Sherry) area. Bodegas Gomez Nevado was possibly the first estate in Spain to be certified organic, way back in 1988. This dry Fino style wine is produced in the same way, using the sherry method but without any fortification. Fino is crisp, dry, yeasty, nutty and tangy, it’s also fresh and delicate and should be drunk chilled like a white wine.
A fantastic aperitif, a treat with salted almonds, manzanilla olives, hams and of course tapas. Will keep in the fridge and is great for cooking too! A wonderful, rare artisan wine with amazing intensity of flavor by one of the only Bodegas in the area still making wine the traditional way. The grapes are fermented with natural yeasts, after which the wine is aged for five years in a traditional ‘solera’ system under a layer of ‘flor’ yeast which protects it from oxidation. Unlike most sherries, the wine is unfortified and unfiltered, and is bottled by hand straight from the cask.
- Featured by John Clarke in The Independent, 12 best sherries that aren’t just for Christmas , ‘From a vineyard near Cordoba in southern Spain (one of the first in Spain to be certified organic, in fact), this pálido (pale) and dry sherry-like wine is not fortified but has a natural alcohol level of 15 percent and is aged under flor using the traditional solera system. Bottled straight from the cask, it’s crisp and nutty with hints of yeast and hay and a notable salinity. Enjoy it with traditional tapas, such as calamari, stuffed peppers or serrano ham.’ September 2024
- 17/20 JancisRobinson.com , ‘ Darker than most fino sherries. Intense aroma of hay and dried grasses, and chamomile. The aromas are broader than on a fino sherry, more complex in fact, and the salty character is very intense on the palate. Great stuff and very persistent. ‘ Julia Harding MW, November 2016
