El Piraña 2022 La Rosa

The family of Juan Francisco Pulido Cabral (aka El Piraña) has been in Trebujena for many generations, historically selling their grapes to the sherry houses. His father converted the farming to organic in the 90s and in 2011 they made a steady switch to creating their own must with their Palomino Fino and Moscatel grapes. Finally in 2023 they bottled their first wines from the 2022 vintage! With less oxidative notes than the other top wine, Alventus, the La Rosa is a lovely example of Palomino, with medium body, and lovely density. A wine we just want to come back to after every sip!

From Importer: "The La Rosa Pago is inland from the Guadalquivir compared to Alventus, and at about 50m elevation. The flor on wines from La Rosa is always thinner than on wines from Alventus."

The soils here are of the Lustrillo subtype, on average 30-50% chalk content, with gypsum, sand and clay.
