N.V. SANCHEZ ROMATE FINO 'MARISMENO' - REASON TO BE CHEERFUL

Sanchez Romate is one of many high quality bodegas based in Jerez. It’s Fino ‘Marismeno’ is lighter in body and punchier in terms of flavour than many other Finos on the market.

Slickly packaged in screw-capped 375ml bottles, it bursts with ozone, brine and freshly baked sourdough, making it an ideal aperitif. Fino ‘Marismeno’ illustrates in spades why dry Sherry is one of the wine world’s great values. It is hard to think of any other wine in the world that is so distinctive and delivers such pleasure for a modest price.

Tasting Note:
Pale silvery white. Lifted nose of lemon citrus, seaweed, ozone, freshly baked sourdough. Bone dry, plenty of punch; bold salty palate, very lively and vibrant. Really ‘wakes one up’! Good depth, with briny saline notes making the wine very moreish. Delicious.
Score: 17/20
