The Fino Spanish wines are a type of dry wines of Spain.
The Dry wines, (Fino) have a minimun aging of three years and we usually make use of up to four "criaderas". When the dry wines (Fino wines) begin to lose the "flower" that has permitted the biological aging "under veil" for three years, a new, aerobic aging process can be added to convert them first into Fino wines and then into Amontillado wines.
Straw- or golden-Colored, a sharp but delicate (almondish) aroma, dry and light to the palate and an alcohol content of around 15º.
"Delicate" is not just an idle descriptive: these dry wines (Fino wines) of Spain should never be bottled. But bottled they must be, so the trick is to drink them as soon after bottling as possible, ideally within seven or eight months.
They should be served chilled but not freezing, and they should be consumed once the bottle is opened. Half bottle makes a lot of sense.
BODEGAS ROBLES has a wide variety of dry wines of Spain ranging from our FINO COPEO, FINO PATACHULA, FINO ROBLES SELECCION, DRY SELECCION DE ROBLES and FINITO 12.
