VARIETAL NOTES : 95% Palomino Fino, 5% Pedro Ximenez 

VINEYARD : The Palomino Fino come from Macharnudo Alto and vines in excess of 25 years old 

ORIENTATION : The vineyard faces the south east with and inclination of 10 degrees and at an altitude of 135 meters high. 

SOIL : Albariza or a white chalky soil. When wet it sheds water to deeper soils and as it dries it "clods" creating a protective layer that slows the evaporation of water from below. 

VITICULTURE : The vines are bush pruned in the traditional method. 

VINIFICATION

The wine is fermented naturally in very old oak barrels. They remain in this "sobretabla" for 1 year fermenting to about 12% alcohol and forming the flor. The wine is then removed from the lees and fortified to 15% and introduced to the first "criadera" or level of the Tio Diego solera.
