Luis Perez NV Palma Caberrubia Jerez Saca IX
From the importer:
"40 year old goblet trained Palomino fino vines. Pago de Carrascal and from the famous El Corregidor estate. 20 km from the Atlantic ocean. The vineyard slope orients to the North. Barajeula type of albariza with layered marl similar to a deck of cards. All work is done by hand. Harvest consists of many passes through the vineyard starting in August through September to pick grapes at different stages of ripeness. The grapes for this wine tend to be picked at the beginning of September and are the clusters destined for Palmas. Those clusters tend to receive a little sun drying time after picking for approximately 6-7 hours. Caberrubia is a "Seleccion de Anadas" of single vintages of La Barajuela following in the way you would find such Non-vintage Finos in the beginning of the 19th century. In general the Palmas are lightly pressed and fermented naturally in cask. The fermented wine is racked in December into casks to age biologically for approximately 3 to 3/12 years. This saca is a blend of Palmas from 2017, 2018 and 2019."
