Colosia Fino 15%, Bodegas Gutierrez Colosia

Appearance
Very pale strawy gold, legs.
Nose
Soft, aromas of the seaside, salty sea breezes, light trace of  flor and a hint of palomino and quince fruit, with just a hint of camomile.
Palate
Soft and well rounded, very dry with a trace of apply acidity (though quite low in acid), touch of almond-like bitterness from the flor, hint salt. Fresh, clean reasonably long finish.


Comments
A very sound fino from el Puerto de Santa Maria, quite maritime. This bodega is right on the waterfront at the mouth of the river Guadalete, and benefits from any sea breezes going - probably the best sited in the whole town. It is also one which deserves support after the tireless work the family has done to put it on the map.
Price
£ 6,25 Bon Vivant's Companion, Edinburgh
