Produced by Bodegas Collantes in Chiclana de la Frontera, Cádiz, Arroyuelo Fino is a traditional Andalusian Fino Sherry that showcases the unique character of the Atlantic-influenced vineyards of the Marco de Jerez. Founded in 1986 by the Collantes family, the bodega represents the independent spirit of small Sherry producers, preserving traditional viticulture and ageing practices in a region where craftsmanship and terroir are deeply connected. The vineyards benefit from the influence of the Atlantic Ocean, the warm Mediterranean climate and the famous albariza soils, rich in chalk and limestone, which retain water during the dry Andalusian summers and provide the ideal conditions for producing elegant, mineral-driven wines.
Made from 100% Palomino Fino, Arroyuelo Fino is aged biologically under a natural layer of flor yeast, following the traditional criaderas y solera ageing system. This unique ageing process protects the wine from oxidation while allowing it to develop remarkable freshness, complexity and character. The wine displays aromas of almonds, green apple, chamomile, sea breeze and fresh bread, with subtle saline and mineral notes reflecting the influence of the Atlantic and albariza soils. On the palate, it is dry, delicate and elegant, with vibrant freshness, a silky texture and a long, savoury finish. A beautifully authentic Fino Sherry, it is perfect served chilled as an aperitif and pairs exceptionally well with oysters, seafood, Iberian ham, olives, almonds, sushi and traditional Spanish tapas.
