Vino de Pasto 'Viña La Mendoza - Pago Cerro Pelado'

100% Palomino (from several different heritage clones) • Sourced from 60-plus year-old vines in La Mendoza, a vineyard in the Cerro Pelado pago of Jerez on chalky soils • Fermented in neutral 500L French barrels and extremely old ex-Fino botas • Practicing organic 

The influence of flor is determined by the warmth of the vintage. In warmer vintages, Joaquin fills the barrels less for the veil of flor to consume higher amounts of glycerol. This tactic is still used in colder vintages; however, the barrels are filled slightly more so the flor consumes less glycerol. Because of this, every vintage produces an energetic, high-acid vino de pasto with gentle flor character.
