The Equipo Navazos La Bota No. 115 Fino NV is a distinctive dry fortified wine from Jerez in Andalucía, Spain, crafted from the traditional Palomino Fino grape variety. Selected for its character and complexity, this Sherry undergoes biological ageing beneath a protective layer of flor yeast, developing the savoury aromas and delicate texture associated with traditional Fino. The nose reveals notes of green apple, lemon peel, chamomile and fresh almonds, complemented by hints of bread dough, dried herbs, green olives and subtle saline minerality.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied and exceptionally dry, with lively acidity and a finely textured mouthfeel. Flavours of citrus zest, blanched almonds, green olives and toasted bread unfold alongside delicate yeasty notes, savoury herbs and a gentle mineral character. Extended flor ageing contributes depth and a subtle nutty complexity while maintaining the wine's crisp, precise structure. The finish is long, clean and distinctly savoury, with lingering impressions of salted almonds, citrus peel and delicate herbal bitterness.
