Unfortified Palomino from Macharnudo (Cerro del Obispo parcel), cool‑fermented then aged a year under flor in old sherry casks; saline, savoury and textural.
This is an absolute gem and represents cracking value for money for the quality. Richer white lovers and particularly Jura white lovers will be very much into this.
Grapes are handpicked in several stages, the first picking was of slightly green grapes to give higher acidity in the final wines. The grapes are gently pressed and cool fermentation is in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then transferred to 80 year old sherry casks where it ages biologically, under flor, for a year before bottling.
