Appearance
Fairly pale strawy gold with silvery highlights,
very slight legs.
Nose
Very fresh, young and vibrant with some
generosity, trace vegetal – almost smells like the vineyard -yet fruity as well
with stewed apple, melon and glacé fruit notes, then there is noticeable strawy,
chalky minerality, and all these factors produce a very natural nose. Who says
Palomino is neutral?
Palate
A certain raw, wild freshness is there despite
low acidity but that gentle Palomino fruit balances nicely without the need for
much acidity. The minerality carries the flavour through sufficiently and gives
the wine length. It is dry and clean with a slightly chalky feel, and is a very
attractive, characterful wine with real vineyard flavour and truly tastes of
Jerez - and it really grows on you.
Comments
Made from single vineyard Macharnudo grapes from old vines,
fermented in tank and bottled in May 2016 without any flor or oak influence,
this is a young table wine which really gives you a taste of the great Pago
Macharnudo. Fino Inocente is made from the same must but is barrel fermented.
It is sealed with a driven Diam cork and the only downside is that only 1,000 cases were made. This is the first release of the wine,
and it has a bright future. It is classic vino blanco from Jerez and very well
priced. I’m thinking about how it will age in bottle, and it might develop some
slight Sherry characteristics over 2-3 years. Right, I’m off to buy some more….
Price
7.55 euros from Licores Corredera
