All Sherry wines come from the Sherry Triangle, a protected region in the south of Spain embracing Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda e El Puerto de Santa María. Only vines with a lifespan of 30 years or more survive in such place, where temperatures routinely rise to 38°C (100°F). Vines grow in albariza ground, composed 80% of chalk, the best medium for grape-growing for Finos: the palest, lightest and driest of sherries.
Sandeman Sherry Don Fino Superior Fino, a premium Fino Sherry, is a delicate and dry white wine. Produced from Palomino grape grown in Sandeman's own vineyards located in the best areas of the Jerez demarcated region, the wine matures in a Solera, under «flor» (a veil of yeast) for a minimum of five years.
Tasting Notes
Pale straw yellow colour, with shades of green and gold. Bright and clear with an aromatic, very pungent aroma, the influence of maturing under «flor». Light, fresh and delicate on the palate with a crisp, dry finish.

Flor protects the wine from air, imparting aroma and flavour. Hence, Sherry Fino is the world’s driest wine because it contains zero sugars. Mysteriously, Flor only grows in Sherry Triangle region.
