| | Most Sherry is made from the Palomino Fino grape and its predecessor the Palomino Basto. | | | Fino sherries are transferred to well used oak containers where the flor is encouraged to coat the surface of the maturing (and fermenting) wine. | | | Many of the differences of the two basic styles, Fino and Oloroso, are attributed to effects of the flor on Fino. |

| | Wine Reviews - A Sherry Revelation - Lustau |
| | The three main styles of sherries made from the Palomino Fino grape are the light coloured lower alcohol Fino, the amber coloured higher alcohol Amontillado and the golden, high alcohol Oloroso wines. | | | Here the Palomino Fino grape excels on gentle undulating chalk-rich slopes that face the Atlantic Ocean, while Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel grapes, which produce a sweeter style of wine, are grown on the chalk-poor soils elsewhere in the region. | | | The Fino wines are salty and I can imagine them being quite refreshing on very hot days and with their suitability to nuts and olives they are the perfect aperitif and well as the ideal accompaniment to tapas. |

| | After the flor dies, the wine may be bottled as a Fino. | | | Fino, manzanilla and amontillado have pale colors, aromatic noses of yeast and almonds, and tangy, even pungent and salty flavors. | | | Styles of Sherry Wines destined to become Fino or Oloroso Sherries are distinguished when the wine is in cask, soon after the fermentation has finished. |

| | Palomino Fino is actually the strain that now represents about 90 percent of the planting in the Jerez area, as opposed to the previously favored Palomino Basto (or Palomino de Jerez) grape. | | | Australia's Common Palomino is not the same grape as Palomino. | | | Palomino is not distinctive when used to make standard white table wines, but when it's processed to make sherry it can turn into something special. |

| | Fino – “The wine of Jerez” is Pale and straw-colored, light and very dry, fino sherry is crisp, delicate and slightly pungent. | | | Served chilled, fino is an excellent aperitif or goes well with chilled seafood, olives, spicy meats, sausages and salty snacks like potato chips, pretzels or nuts. | | | One of the key elements in producing dry, crisp Fino Sherry is the “Velo de Flor” or natural yeast cap that forms inside the fermenting barrel in the upper criaderas The flor prevents the oxidation of the young wines as they age in the upper racks. |

| | Fino and Manzanilla Sherries are excellent apéritifs, but they must be fresh. | | | Fino and Manzanilla Sherries are great with almonds, olives, shrimp, all kinds of seafood and the great tapas in Spanish bars and restaurants. | | | Finos and Manzanillas should be sold, and consumed, within a few months of purchase; other types keep for several years. |

| | Amontillado: Begins life as a Fino, but is aged for longer in the solera system and gives a wine of dark colour and intense aromas. | | | In Jerez the tulip-shaped copita glass would contain fino sherry, in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, manzanilla, in inland Córdoba it might be Montilla, and in Málaga, down by the coast, a stiff tot of the 'mountain' wine so loved by the Victorians. | | | Accordingly, yields are high, for the vineyards of Jerez, all trained on wires, are among the most modern in Spain, and the Palomino Fino-the main grape for sherry-is always a generous bearer. |

| | The variety grown from 1500 into the 19th century was Palomino de Jerez, but it has been replaced by Palomino Fino, which originated near Sanlucar, and gives higher quality wine. | | | Pedro Ximénez gives sweeter wines than Palomino in Sherry production, with a fruity flavor and distinctive aroma which is achieved by leaving the grapes in the sun so they lose some of their moisture. | | | Palomino is the predominant variety in Sherry production. |

| | Sherry is made from only white grapes, primarily one of the many clones of Palomino, which accounts for 95% of the vineyard plantings in Jerez. | | | A moderately yielding grape with a fragile skin and low acidity, Palomino makes flat, flabby table wines (it is said to be delicious for eating) and only shines when matured into sherry. | | | The secret of the sherry appellation is the combination of a hot dry climate and the unusual structure of the soil that, together, bring forth world class wines from a grape (Palomino) used for fine wines nowhere else on Earth. |

| | A true Sherry Vinegar can only be produced from wine made from Palomino Fino grapes, grown in the unique micro climate of the Jerez sherry region. | | | Alongside the traditional Palomino grape, 30% of the Pedro Ximenez is added during the aging process. | | | The denser and sweeter Pedro Ximenez wine gives this sherry vinegar a special smoothness and a deep licorice smell, which sets it apart from other vinagres de Jerez. |

| | A year later, a second classification is performed to decide which way these wines will go, the finos remaining at 15º and the olorosos at 18º. | | | After racking (separation of the sediments, or lees, in the wine), the classification operation is performed by organoleptic analysis; our overseer tastes the wines and an analysis is performed at the laboratory to determine which wines will become finos and which will become olorosos. | | | One may say that Tio Pepe Fino came into being for the first time on our 601 hectares of "albariza" (lime earth) vineyards located on the outskirts of the city, on the exceptional "pagos" (plots) of the Jerez Superior area. |

| | The grapes used to make the wines of Jerez are all white: Palomino de Jerez, Palomino Fino, Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel. | | | The wine-taster's job is to sort out the wines for their classification: fino and manzanilla - pale and light, up to 15% alcohol and the so-called olorosos, which have more body and their alcohol content up to 17%. | | | The flower of the fino and manzanilla does not disappear, and keeps the wines from oxydizing. |
