Fino en Rama Flor de Macharnudo: A Unique and Authentic Sherry, Born from the Albariza Land

The Fino en Rama Flor de Macharnudo is an exceptional fortified wine that embodies the very essence of Jerez. Produced by Bodegas Santa Petronila, this fino belongs to the prestigious Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Designation of Origin and is distinguished by its unique character and its artisanal production process.

Outstanding Features:

En Rama: This term indicates that the wine is bottled directly from the barrel, without filtering or clarifying. This preserves its authenticity and complexity, offering an intense and unique sensory experience.

Flor de Macharnudo: The "flor" is a layer of yeast that forms on the surface of the wine during its biological aging, protecting it from oxidation and giving it characteristic aromas and flavors. Macharnudo is the name of the vineyard or estate where the Palomino Fino grapes used in its production come from, giving it a distinctive personality.

Aromas and Flavors: On the nose, it displays sharp and saline notes, along with aromas of fresh almond, aromatic herbs and a subtle touch of bakery. On the palate, it is dry, light and elegant, with a refreshing acidity and a long and persistent finish.

Pairing: Ideal to accompany appetizers, seafood, grilled fish, Iberian ham and soft cheeses. Its freshness and complexity make it a versatile companion for a wide variety of dishes.

Artisanal Production in the Smallest Winery in the World:

The Fino en Rama Flor de Macharnudo is made following traditional methods passed down from generation to generation at the Viña Santa Petronila Winery, considered the smallest sherry winery in the world, with an annual production limited to about 800 bottles. Palomino Fino grapes, from one of the best vineyards in Macharnudo, are harvested by hand and gently pressed to obtain a high-quality must. After artisanal fermentation in American oak casks, the wine is fortified to 16% vol. and aged under a veil of flor for about 6 years, following the criaderas and soleras system.

Macharnudo's Unique Terroir:

The albariza soil, rich in clay, calcium and marine fossils, gives a distinctive saline character to the grapes. The sponginess of this soil allows for water retention, which is essential for the nutrition of the vines in this dry climate. The vineyard's Northeast-Southwest orientation, exposed to the cool Atlantic winds and the dry Eastern winds, contributes to the uniqueness of this wine.

An Unforgettable Sensory Experience:

The Fino en Rama Flor de Macharnudo is a wine for those seeking an authentic and genuine experience. Its straw-yellow color with golden reflections, its complex and pungent aroma, and its persistent and almond flavor make it an oenological jewel that will delight the most demanding palates.

Enjoy and Recommendations:

Serve cold: Between 6º-10º as an aperitif and between 8º-12º to enjoy it in all its splendor.

Consume soon: Being "En Rama", unfiltered and unstabilized, it is recommended to consume it within three months and, once opened, enjoy it the following weekend.

Versatile pairing: Perfect as an aperitif or to accompany seafood, ham, sushi, salmon, fish and a wide variety of dishes.
