WINE DESCRIPTION

Gil Luque Leyenda Fino Sherry is a remarkable wine that showcases the expertise of its producer. Hailing from the renowned appellation of Jerez in Spain, this wine is crafted using grapes grown in exceptional vineyards. The unique terroir of the region, characterized by its chalky soil and maritime influence, imparts distinct flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process involves a traditional solera system, where the wine is aged under a layer of yeast called "flor." This results in a pale, dry, and crisp style of Sherry, with delicate notes of almonds, citrus, and a refreshing saline finish. Gil Luque Leyenda Fino Sherry is a true testament to the artistry and tradition of Jerez winemaking.
