Regional information The vineyards in Jerez are unique to the area. The soil in Jerez is majority Albariza, a white soil which contains up to 60% chalk and therefore has a large capacity for maintaining moisture, very important given the long, hot and dry summers as irrigation is prohibited. The area has a unique microclimate influenced by the surrounding Atlantic ocean and rivers Guadalquivir and Guadalete. The prevailing winds are moist and warm, and now and again dry and hot levante winds from north Africa. Temperatures are warm with 70% humidity and annual rainfall is 600 litres/m2. The harvest in Jerez begins mid August and generally lasts for 3 weeks maximum.
Tasting notes A classy, very dry Fino, subtle and fragrant on the nose and full of savoury almond notes on the palate. Elegante Fino is the perfect partner for fish shellfish, cheese, white meats and traditional Spanish ''tapas''.
Alcohol by volume 15% ABV.
Units 11.3.

Vinification details As soon as the Palomino grapes reach the winery they are gently pressed without crushing the stems, seeds or skins. The must from the first light pressing is called 'yema'. After fermentation classification and fortification the wine enters the Elegante fino solera where it will age for 3 years in American oak barrels following the traditional Solera system. During this period the wine ages under a layer of yeast known as the 'flor'. This 'flor' gives Elegante its distinct colour, aroma and character.
