Description
Viticulture
Produced from Palomino grapes grown on Macharnudo Alto vineyards in Jerez
Winemaking
Palomino fino grapes sourced from a historic albariza vineyard, fermented in 600l sherry butts making use only of wild yeast, and aged without fortification under a veil of flor for some four to five months, thanks to the other equally wild yeasts that take control of the butt immediately after fermentation has finished.
Food matching
A perfect match for all sorts of “tapas”, showing its best always with food. Oysters, clams and sea-food, smoked ham, strong cheeses.
Producer Profile
Equipo Navazos was born out of a group of friends’ desire to unearth some of the many treasures lying forgotten in the bodegas of Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, El Puerto de Santa Maria and Montilla… wines whose age and provenance place them among the best value in the world.
These unexpected yet fortunate findings have been made available to wine lovers around the world in limited quantities under the La Bota series (consecutively numbered editions, with the date of each ‘saca’, or withdrawal, on the label) as a mark of respect for the generations of expertise and care that have gone into making these exceptional wines. Today, however, Equipo Navazos’ efforts are increasingly focused on producing their own wines, such as Florpower, which truly express the character of Sanlúcar and its unique terroir. Beyond Andalusia, they have also collaborated with winemakers of the calibre of Dirk Niepoort and Sergi Colet to develop authentic, individual Spanish wines that never fail to impress.
