Romate Fino Perdido

Romate Fino Perdido

Each fino cask is a fermentation vessel and it ferments and matures with different yeast strains according to the humidity, temperature and aircurrents in the bodega. We select the best barrels and have them bottled as Fino Perdido. This is a mature golden fino sherry: rich and full. In Andalusia in summer the Spanish eat superb fish and shellfish and wash it down with characterful finos such as this. Let’s do summer, shellfish and sherry together too!

Made by Sanchez Romate SA

Decanter (Dec 2012)

93/100 A special selection of butts (barrels); eight-year-old fino verging on amontillado as the flor yeast fades. Delicately fragrant with yeast and lime leaves. The palate is contrastingly brisk, the very essence of savouriness. Elegant. - Sarah Jane Evans MW

Decanter (1st Aug 2012)

The changes in the Sherry scene in the past few years have been remarkable, but I was unprepared for the superb quality on show. Perhaps the most exciting range (and the most beautiful labels) came from Viniberia, where single 500 litre butts are selected from Jerez’s almacenistas – stockholders of soleras of great age. The just-bottled Sanchez Romate Hnos, Fino Perdido had the purest expression of flor imaginable (see Weekday Wines); the Cayetano del Pino y Cia, Palo Cortado Viejisimo, bone dry from a 40 year old solera; the Salto al Cielo Olorosa, blended by Dauthieu’s father in law Beltran Domecq, with vigorous richness and a firm finish.

Decanter (1st Aug 2012)

Weekday wines - Best Value Wine of the Month:

This is not your ordinary style of Fino. With its name translated as ‘Lost Fino’, it’s mature style and has spent eight years in cask. It has plenty of complexity and concentration but still retains its freshness and vibrancy. Packed with almond and yeasty characters on the finish, this is divine with or without food. Alc: 15%
