Tasting Notes

Pale straw in color, it is full of flor-driven aromas with iodine hints, yeast, and almond. The palate is light, bone dry, and tangy with nutty persistence and a lingering salty finish.

Food Paring

Enjoy this fino as an aperitif with iberian ham, almonds, olives, or fresh shellfish for a bright and savory start to the meal. Its tangy saline profile also makes it an ideal partner for oysters, light seafood dishes, and tapas.

Professional Reviews

94 Decanter

"Discreet style putting together power and finesse, with nice long ageing. Long and clean, very refined and distinctive with a long, tangy finish."

92 Wine & Spirits

"La Bodega Obregón runs a popular tavern in El Puerto de Santa María, where they serve their own Sherries as well as selections they sell to Lustau for the Almacenista line. This Fino del Puerto is intense in citrus and salty notes, like preserved lemons. Its texture is rustic, yet delightfully fresh, completely enveloping the wine’s intensity."

90 Wine Spectator

"The pungent walnut note up front makes this seem bigger than a fino. Remains brisk and salty overall, offering jicama, dried lemon rind and star fruit notes through the middle and finish. Stays relatively true to type. For fans of more rustic-edged fino."
