El Fino de Cayetano del Pino es un vino generoso elaborado por la bodega Cayetano del Pino, ubicada en Jerez de la Frontera, dentro de la Denominación de Origen Jerez-Xérès-Sherry. No lleva añada: como todo Fino, se cría en criaderas y solera.

La uva empleada es 100% Palomino Fino, procedente exclusivamente del pago Balbaina, situado en la zona de Jerez Superior y reconocida como uno de los cuatro pagos de primer orden del Marco de Jerez. El terreno donde crece la vid es albariza. La elaboración sigue el método tradicional de crianza biológica bajo velo de flor, utilizando el sistema de criaderas y soleras. El envejecimiento se realiza en botas de roble americano con una media de 9 años, una edad que supera ampliamente los 3 a 5 años habituales en un Fino comercial estándar. El producto final tiene una graduación alcohólica del 15,5% vol.

El perfil de este vino se define por su origen en un suelo de albariza de primer orden y su proceso de envejecimiento prolongado. En términos de valoración crítica, la guía Peñín le ha otorgado una puntuación de 92 puntos.

Este Fino destaca por su carácter diferenciado frente a los vinos de la categoría comercial, gracias a la uva de un pago de primer orden y a una crianza en solera de unos 9 años de media.

Learn more about Cayetano del Pino

For eighty years this house did not bottle. On 19 November 1886, Cayetano del Pino — a young man from La Carlota, in Córdoba, who had started working in Jerez in 1883 — registered Cayetano del Pino & Cía. as a wine exporting company, with Alberto Romero and with Manuel de la Calzada, son of the banker Tomás de la Calzada.

On the death of Cayetano del Pino Balbontín, in 1935, the house stopped bottling and became an almacenista: it aged its old wines and sold them to the large bodegas of Jerez, which released them under their own labels. Its wines have appeared that way in Lustau's Almacenista range. Not until 2015, with the fourth generation, did it sell wine under its own name again.

In 1983 they bought the Plaza Silos premises, which had belonged to Pedro Domecq and were the bodega where Fino La Ina was aged. In September 2022 the winery passed to Grupo Mesgal Patrimonial, owned by Fulgencio Meseguer Galán. The house is one of the benchmarks for Palo Cortado, and it is almost all they make.

The Fino comes from albariza in the Balbaina pago, in Jerez Superior, one of the four first-rank pagos of the Marco. It ages under a veil of flor in the criaderas y solera system, in American oak butts, averaging nine years: well beyond the three to five of an ordinary fino.

The Palo Cortado is first-pressing Palomino on albariza of the Superior zone, in the San Miguel quarter of Jerez, and comes from a flor that fell of its own accord: two years of biological ageing and sixteen oxidative, some eighteen in all.
