FEATURES
🏰The San Francisco Javier Fino Vina Corrales is a classic Fino Sherry, celebrated for its 【crispness, salinity, and distinctive almond and yeasty notes developed under flor】. While Sherry is non-vintage, the 2022 'vintage' here likely refers to a bottling or release year. This Fino offers a pale straw color and a pungent, complex aroma of almonds, green olives, and a hint of sea breeze. On the palate, it's bone dry, light-bodied, with a refreshing acidity and a long, savory finish.
🍴 This versatile Fino Sherry is an excellent aperitif, and pairs wonderfully with tapas, olives, cured ham (Jamon Serrano), fried fish, or almonds. For an Asian pairing, try crispy fried seafood, dim sum, or light Cantonese roast pork.
🥂 Perfect for pre-dinner drinks, a tapas party, or as a refreshing accompaniment to light snacks.
