Valdespino Vina Macharnudo Alto Barrel-Fermented Palomino 2023

Description

A standout in Valdespino’s range of unfortified Albariza wines, Viña Macharnudo Alto Barrel Fermented is made from Palomino grapes grown at the highest point of the historic Macharnudo Alto vineyard. Hand-picked at night, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in old sherry barrels, then aged on lees for six months with two further months in cask. The 2023 vintage is bright and expressive, offering aromas of lime, chalk, mint and toasted almond. The palate shows vibrant acidity, citrus and green apple, evolving into richer notes of pear, herbal nuances and subtle oak. Dry, textured and deeply characterful.

Bodegas Valdespino

Bodega Valdespino traces its origins to 1264, when Don Alfonso Valdespino received land in Jerez after aiding King Alfonso X. Though commercial activity began in 1430, the company was officially registered in 1875. Valdespino became Sherry purveyors to the Spanish Royal House in 1883 and the Swedish in 1932. They pioneered the use of "Sacristia" and produce Fino Inocente, the only Sherry from a single vineyard, fermented in oak and aged through ten Criaderas.

Andalucia

Andalucía, located in southern Spain, is a historically significant wine region known for its diverse and distinctive wines. The area benefits from a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, ideal for viticulture.
It is most famous for its fortified wines, particularly Sherry (Jerez), produced in the Jerez de la Frontera area. Sherry is known for its unique styles, including Fino, Amontillado, and Oloroso, which offer a range of flavours from dry and crisp to rich and nutty. It also produces notable sweet wines, such as those from the Pedro Ximénez grape.
Historically, Andalucía’s winemaking tradition dates back to ancient times, with a strong influence from the Phoenicians, Romans, and Moors.
