Notes from the Importer: 40 year old goblet trained Palomino fino vines. Pago de Carrascal and from the famous El Corregidor estate. The Caberrubia bottling 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. Luis on the wine "With Saca VII, we have expanded our selection to 17 botas, in which we find mostly 2017, 2018 and 2019 vintages, and small proportions of previous vintages. With this assemblage we want to approach a style that is more representative of what this vineyard would give us, with an inland character, roundness and concentration, without losing the elegance and finesse that defines all the previous sacas. When making this selection, the alcoholic content has not reached the minimum of 15º in the current legislation for a production like this, so it will NOT be released as a Fino within the "D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry", and it will do so with the legislation of white wine."
