Chiclana Fine Wine 75cl

The Vino Fino Chiclanero is a fortified wine of the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Jerez-Xérès-Sherry and Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda, produced in the town of Chiclana de la Frontera, in the province of Cádiz. This wine is a clear example of the winemaking tradition of the area.

Production and Aging

Fino Chiclanero is made exclusively with Palomino Fino grapes, the main variety of the region. Its aging is biological, that is, under a layer of yeast called “velo de flor”, which protects it from oxygen and gives it its unique characteristics. This process is carried out in wineries in Chiclana through the traditional system of soleras and criaderas.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Straw yellow color, bright and transparent.

• Nose: The aroma is very peculiar and sharp. Notes of yeast, almond, bakery and a saline touch, typical of the aging under flor.

• Palate: In the mouth it is very dry and light. Salinity is one of its main characteristics, which makes it very refreshing and easy to drink. The finish is long and slightly bitter, which invites to continue drinking.

Pairing and Service

The Fino Chiclanero is an ideal wine for the aperitif and Andalusian gastronomy. Its saline character and acidity make it the perfect accompaniment to:

• Seafood and fish, especially “pescaíto frito” (fried fish).

• Iberian ham and sausages.

• Olives and salted almonds.

It is recommended to serve it very cold, between 6º and 8º C, in a wine glass to fully enjoy its nuances.
