Description
Experience the exquisite and bone-dry sophistication of the Valdespino Premium Fino Inocente Pago de Macharnudo, a stellar example of quality Spanish Sherry crafted from the Palomino grape. At an elevation of 135 meters above sea level in the renowned Pago Macharnudo vineyard, this Fino Sherry benefits from unique soil compositions of albariza, expertly managing hydration during the scorching summers of Andalucia. This meticulous attention to detail cultivates grapes that bloom into a refreshingly complex wine, enhanced through traditional fermentation methods and biological aging under a protective layer of 'flor'.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Delightful notes of salted almonds, green olives, and dried apples, interwoven with hints of warm chalk, subtle ocean breeze, freshly baked bread dough, and a whisper of flor yeast.
- Palate: A bright and bone-dry profile that showcases a finely chalky texture, enriched by saline minerality and vibrant acidity.
- Finish: Prolonged, mineral-driven, leaving a refined and lingering oceanic freshness, accompanied by light almond bitterness.
Serving Suggestions:
- Chill to 7-9°C and serve in a small tulip or copita glass to enhance its delicate aromas.
- Pair with modern seafood hors d'oeuvres like yuzu-cured scallop sashimi or prawn tempura drizzled with matcha mayo, to create an enticing fusion.
- Complement with a charcuterie board featuring white anchovies, marcona almonds dusted with smoked paprika, and Iberico ham slices adorned with quince paste.
- Mix into a refreshing cocktail, balancing with elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and thyme for a light aperitivo served over crushed ice.
- Utilize as a brightener in chilled filets of gazpacho shooter with microgreens and smoked sea salt.
- Enjoy alongside savory options like grilled octopus on crostinis or roasted bone marrow with parsley salad and flaky sea salt.
- Host a sunset garden party or tapas-style tasting flight, pairing each glass with a carefully selected canapé for an elevated social experience.
- For a culinary twist, reduce gently into a glaze to complement seared scallops or grilled vegetables, echoing the wine's nutty undertones.
Crafted by Valdespino and benefitting from 10 years of careful aging, this exceptional Fino embodies complexity and richness that tantalizes the palate and enhances any occasion with a touch of authenticity from Jerez.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of Sherry:
- Temperature: Keep unopened bottles stored at a stable cool temperature between 11°C and 15°C (51–59°F) to preserve quality.
- Light Exposure: Store in a dark place away from direct light to prevent oxidation and flavor degradation.
- Sealing: Ensure unopened bottles have intact corks. After opening reseal promptly with a proper stopper to minimize oxygen exposure.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright which minimizes the wine’s surface area exposed to oxygen and reduces oxidation risk.
- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level to keep corks from drying out avoiding cork deterioration and oxygen ingress. While specific humidity ranges are not stated in the results a typical wine storage humidity of around 60-70% is beneficial.
- Vibrations and Noise: Store in a quiet vibration-free environment to protect wine integrity.
For opened bottles store in the refrigerator with a stopper to slow oxidation and extend drinking time. Lighter styles like Fino lose quality faster after opening and should be consumed within a few days to a week while heavier types last longer but still benefit from refrigeration.
