Sanchez Romate Perdido Fino En Rama Jerez, Andalucia

Sánchez Romate Perdido Fino En Rama is a thrillingly raw and authentic expression of Jerez, bottled with minimal intervention to capture Fino Sherry in its purest, most alive form. Perdido means lost, a nod to barrels that drift outside the strict solera rhythm and develop their own singular personality. This wine comes from Jerez de la Frontera, where chalky albariza soils, Atlantic influence and intense southern light create the perfect conditions for biological ageing under flor.

Bodegas Sánchez Romate is one of Jerez’s historic houses, founded in the late 18th century and renowned for its mastery of traditional sherry styles. Perdido is very much a connoisseur’s bottling. It is drawn directly from selected barrels, bottled en rama, meaning unfiltered and only lightly stabilised. This preserves texture, aroma and the vivid savoury character that flor ageing imparts, but also means the wine is deliberately untamed and expressive.

In the glass, Perdido Fino is pale and slightly hazy, immediately signalling its unpolished nature. Aromas are intense and captivating. Fresh bread dough, green almond, chamomile and sea spray leap from the glass, followed by notes of bruised apple, yeast and a salty, maritime edge that speaks clearly of coastal Andalucía.

On the palate, it is bone dry, electric and layered. Flavours of almond skin, green olive, citrus peel and fresh dough are carried by piercing acidity and a distinctly saline core. The texture is fine yet mouth coating, with flor driven savoury notes building through the mid palate. The finish is long, briny and deeply umami, leaving a lasting impression of freshness and complexity.

This is a Fino made for food and for curiosity. It is superb with olives, anchovies, jamón ibérico, oysters, sushi or anything savoury where salt and texture matter. Drink it cool and fresh, ideally soon after opening, to experience it at its most vibrant and alive.

Sánchez Romate Perdido Fino En Rama is not a polite introduction to sherry. It is vivid, salty and unapologetically real, a snapshot of flor, place and tradition captured straight from the barrel. For lovers of Fino, Jura wines or savoury whites with edge and intellect, it is unforgettable.
