Fino Pando by Williams Humbert
This is a very well reputed Fino Sherry, along with the traditional giant labels of La Ina, Inocente, and Tio Pepe. Jerez Superior, from the Pago Balbaina. Minimum average age of 5 years, through the 9 levels of criaderas y soleras to achieve the character this brand demands. According to Sherry cultural expert Jose Luis Jimenez, Pando stands for Peninsular & Oriental Steam Company (P and O), a shipping company that had routes established in the Mediterranean.
Light lemon color, bright, with subtle greenish tones.
Yeasty, raw almonds, pronounced herbal notes, goes long and smooth.
The verdict: There is a prominent tang to this Fino, and dry as it should be, dry as in your mouth has to react with moisture to compensate. Feels light, clean, and refreshing. A bit heavier Fino which goes great with salty tapas.
