Well, he kindly gave me a bottle of a new product that he has launched, an &#8220;en rama&#8221; fino. I have talked about these kinds of finos in earlier postings.

On the palate it is quite austere and has a very tangy and&nbsp; bitter finish of great intensity with all the aromas of the nose coming back with added notes of dried herbs. This is a very serious fino which cries out for food to accompany it. Having just bought an organic acorn-fed Iberian front leg or &#8220;paleta&#8221; a plate of this was the perfect match to go with the fino for myself and my wife.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-5tp1kT-awQ4\/Un0e0yupYwI\/AAAAAAAAA2I\/eFYwWJ7Iqmo\/s1600\/CIMG2482.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/aqot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/CIMG2482.jpg\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aqot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">wine tours to Jerez<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On one of my recent trips to Jerez we went to Bodegas Fernando de Castilla.
