Finest Fino Sherry
Are you a fan of martinis? Green olives? If you’re nodding away, fino sherry should be top of your list to sip all summer long. Forget the sweet, dark richness that sherry often conjures: fino is pale, bright and powerfully briny. Fortified to 15%, serve it fridge cold with nibbles such as Spanish ham and anchovies, or try a measure topped up with lemonade over ice and add fresh mint leaves for a rebujito cocktail.
