CALLEJUELA ANINA MANZANILLA 2014 500ML

Style: Fortified

Francisco Blanco Martínez, |el Blanquito¿ founded the business in 1980. Originally, he worked as an almacenista de mosto ¿ he farmed his vineyards and made base wine, which was then sold to bottling houses, who fortified it to become sobretablas ready to enter their soleras. In 1997, Blanquito¿s operation was consolidated in a cellar atop the slope of Pago el Hornillo on the estuary (Trebujena) side of Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Nowadays, Francisco¿s sons Pepe and Paco Blanco run the project, with 28 hectares of own vines across four pagos: in Sanlúcar de Barrameda they have holdings in Pagos Callejuela and el Hornillo; while in Jerez they own parts of Pagos Macharnudo and Añina. Ramiro Ibáñez provides advisory assistance. They hold 700 botas in their bodega, about 500 of which are ageing biologically.

This is from the fruit of 'Las Mercedes' vineyard inside Pago A¿ñina. Almost a natural Palo Cortado in style, bottled at 16%. Intensely mineral, after 4 years unmixed, unmoved under flor. Nose of fermented straw, toasty notes, powdered ginger and baking smells of yeast, almond meal, and baking spices. It's rounded and oloroso-like in style - mineral, soft, yeasty with lushness, finishing gentle and easy. IMPORTER NOTES
