All Sherry wines come from the Sherry Triangle, a protected region in the south of Spain embracing Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda e El Puerto de Santa María. Only vines with a lifespan of 30 years or more survive in such place, where temperatures routinely rise to 38°C (100°F). Vines grow in albariza ground, composed 80% of chalk, the best medium for grape-growing for Finos: the palest, lightest and driest of sherries.

Flor protects the wine from air, imparting aroma and flavour. Hence, Sherry Fino is the world’s driest wine because it contains zero sugars. Mysteriously, Flor only grows in Sherry Triangle region.
