A nutty, salty, crisp white wine from Cadiz that's not sherry! Made from 100% Palomino Fino sourced from Sanlucar de Barrameda, this drinks like a fino sherry but is not fortified. Pair with tempura and sauteed seafood! Mouthwatering. Read more

WINEMAKING: All hand harvested, spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in very old oak casks (barrels) used in the past for Manzanilla. They only add sulfur to start the fermentation and very little quantity since the harvest is so specific, the grape bunches used are very healthy and free of fungi and rot. The wine continues aging in the same barrels until the following summer (approximately 9 months) and then it is transferred to an always full (steel tank) to protect it from bacteria and oxidation. No flor appearance since everything is kept topped-up. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and no SO2 at bottling.
ABV: 12%
