Por qué funciona

Mussels are a classic case of matching the sea with acid and salinity. Fino or Manzanilla Sherry works here because its bone-dry, saline, almondy profile is outstanding with salt, seafood, olives, ham, and briny flavors. The important move is using saline, mineral freshness to bridge seafood and briny flavors, using acidity to refresh fat and richness, so the wine supports the food instead of becoming a separate event.
