Bodegas Gutiérrez Colosia, Fino, DO Jerez, Spain

Producer Profile
Bodegas Gutíerrez Colosia is the only bodega in Puerto de Santa Maria that is situated along the riverside, which owners Juan Carlos and his wife Carmen claim ensures perfect humidity levels for the development of the fine top layer of yeast – ‘en flor’ – that plays such a critical role in the traditional crianza-solera method of making sherry.
Viticulture
The grapes for Colosia's wines come from areas around Jerez, with the vineyards being planted on very special soil called "Albariza". The soil produces outstanding vines perfect for the production of sherry.
Winemaking
Made by means of biological agening (action of flor yeast). The proximity of the winery to the sea breeze imparts a particular personality to the wine.
Tasting Note
The Fino sherry is pale golden in colour, with a delicate almond aroma, dry and light on the palate - due to the proximity of the wineries to the Ocean the sea breeze impart a singular personality to the wine.
