Some are taken to Puerta de Santa Maria, where the distinct climate produces more mellow characteristics. These wines are called Puerto Finos. The most unique of all the Fino Sherries is the Manzanilla. These are taken to an oceanfront town called Sanlucar de Beerameda, where the ocean air gives the wine a tangy, even salty characteristic. It is the perfect sherry for hot weather, and when it is served chilled it can be quite refreshing.
T here is also another unique style of sherry that exists.
It is called Almacenista Sherry. It is from soleras that have been owned by families for generations. Many sherry houses purchase wines from these soleras and bottle them with the name of the family on the bottle. Many of these are the highest quality sherries, and can also be some of the most expensive. Yet the maximum price is thirty dollars a bottle, which is certainly reasonable for these great wines.
