Bodegas De La Riva SL, Fino Macharnudo

Bodegas De La Riva’s Fino Macharnudo is a compelling example of traditional Andalusian fino, offering the kind of precision, salinity, and finesse that makes this style so distinctive. Sourced from the acclaimed Macharnudo area, it reflects the historic connection between Jerez’s chalky albariza soils and the development of world-class sherry.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in color with a bright, delicate sheen, this fino shows a very fresh and lifted aromatic profile. Expect notes of green almond, chamomile, sea breeze, baker’s yeast, and a subtle saline edge that adds depth and character. On the palate it is bone-dry, crisp, and exceptionally lively, with a clean line of acidity and a savory, mineral-driven finish. Its delicate biological aging gives it both tension and complexity, making it enjoyable now while retaining the ability to hold its freshness over the short to medium term if stored properly.

Production
Fino Macharnudo is rooted in the chalky albariza soils of Macharnudo, one of the most prized zones in the Jerez area, where the vines benefit from excellent water retention and reflected sunlight. The wine is produced in the traditional sherry manner, with careful harvesting of healthy grapes and vinification geared toward a base wine suitable for biological aging under flor, which shapes the wine’s classic fino character.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, ideally around 6–8°C, to preserve its freshness and sharp, dry profile. It is an excellent match for olives, salted almonds, jamón ibérico, anchovies, seafood, fried fish, and shellfish, and does not require decanting.

Producer
Bodegas De La Riva SL is associated with a traditional and quality-focused approach to sherry, highlighting classic terroirs and time-honored styles from the Jerez region. While detailed background information is limited, the producer’s emphasis on site expression and authentic fino character places it firmly within the movement celebrating fine, artisanal sherry production.
