Fernando de Castilla Fino en Rama
Why this is on Broken Compass: Boutinot's own notes describe unfined.
What to expect
This Sherry is golden, darker than a normal fino as it has not been carbon-filtered. The aroma of fresh yeast leaps out of the glass, like standing in a bakery! Intensely nutty and savoury on the palate with a distinct character of fresh bread and a salty tang. Dry, with a bitter twist. This is a serious wine, long, complex and extremely flavourful. Best enjoyed at 6-8 degrees C.

On the table
This is superb with food - served chilled with salted almonds, light fish dishes or seafood tapas. Perfect with salt cod (Bacalao), Iberian ham and fried hake.
