Fino is sherry's white wine - a dry, pale and light style that lives off the flor yeast in the cask and drinks best while still young and fresh.
Expert's Description
Bodegas Gutierrez Colosia Sherry Fino is a Sherry from El Puerto de Santa María, Spain made from the Palomino grape, bottled at 15% ABV.
The Fino is carried by the flor yeast, which settles as a protective layer on top of the wine during ageing and prevents oxidation, giving it its characteristic freshness and pale colour. This is a classic, handcrafted Fino from one of El Puerto's respected sherry houses.

Did You Know?
The flor yeast that gives Fino its character dies if exposed to too high an alcohol strength - that's why Fino is only fortified to around 15%, while drier styles like Oloroso can go all the way up to 20%.
