Gutiérrez Colosía Fino En Rama

From one of our favorite small bodegas, Gutierrez Colosia, who still producing sherry in the old way, mostly with manual labour. ‘En Rama’ meaning ‘on the vine’ or figuratively ‘raw’ is an unfiltered version of their fino wine. They literally siphon this from the barrel into a large pitcher (straining it only through a mesh kitchen strainer) and then pour that into bottles. Label it, seal it, and done.

Fairly light and delicate, En Rama but without the wild yeasty notes. Citrus at first, lemon peels, hints of dried flowers and herbs. Overripe apples, almonds. Savoury notes in the background. Dry, with a low acidity and still a touch of fruitiness. Soft minerals, now a stronger impression of flor notes, including a herbal bitterness. Juicy lemons and yeasty dough.
