Description

Screwcap. Unfortified. Along with the Navazos-Niepoort bottling, La Bota de Florpower is Navazos’ second single-vineyard white wine and inspired by a period in Andalucían wine history before fortification was the norm. While the Navazos-Niepoort is sourced from Jerez's de-facto Grand Cru vineyard, Macharnudo Alto, this wine comes from Sanlúcar’s own blue-ribbon (and most revered) terroir, the pago Miraflores.

Specifically, the Palomino is sourced from 55 and 85-year-old Palomino vines in the La Baja “lieu-dit” of Miraflores. As opposed to the power and structure of Macharnudo in Jerez, here the Tosca Cerrada albariza soils give more roundness and floral charm to the wines, as well as plenty of the oyster shell/iodine salinity that we expect of Sanlúcar wines. There are some waxy, complex, reductive and secondary notes from the time aging under flor and also some gentle nuttiness from the sherry cask.

Seeking to instil more vineyard character in this bottling, the Navazos team has embarked on a shorter aging cycle. Bottled at 11.5%, the 2021 was fermented in 600-litre Jerez casks and aged under flor for eight months until it was bottled at the end of June 2022. Previous bottlings could be aged for significantly longer so you can expect even more clarity and saline vibrancy. It’s just starting to open and offers plenty of seductive flesh and loads of interest. A superb and unique white wine.

“Palomino Fino from Sanlucar. Bottled in July 2022. Old vines in Miraflores, always the same vineyard close to the ocean, vines over 50 and over 80 years old. They have ‘shifted from an idea connected to flor to an idea connected to vineyard; now we are convinced process is less important than terroir’. This was bottled later than Navazos Niepoort originally but now usually one year after the harvest. 4,000 bottles made. Tangy and pungent but overall quite soft on the palate. Real grip on the end which makes up for the low acid. A distinctly floral quality. With time these wines go orange but still stay fresh.” 16.5 points, Jancis Robinson MW, jancisrobinson.com

Wines of Spain

With 2.9 million acres of land planted in wine grapes, Spain is the most widely planted wine producing nation and second largest producer in the world. Many styles of wine are produced in the country most of which are based on native grape varietals.

The two most famous regions are Rioja and Ribera del Duero for their Tempranillo production. Rioja Tempranillo (the classic) will be lighter and fresher with red fruit flavours as compared to those from Ribera del Duero that are often deep purple, higher in alcohol with more tannins and intense black fruit character. Rioja is also known for producing Garnacha (Grenache), as well as rich, nutty whites from the indigenous Viura varietal.

In the Catalonia region, Spain is recognized for making a sparkling wine in the traditional method but using native grape varieties. This is called Cava. Priorat, a subregion within Catalonia specializes in making still red blends of Garnacha, Carignan and often Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in a bold and full-bodied style. Together with Rioja, wines from Priorat have achieved DOCa/DOQ status signifying their quality.

Sherry is Spain’s famous fortified wine which can either be completely dry, lusciously sweet or somewhere in between. This is made in the southern region of Jerez.

Other notable Spanish wine styles include: Monastrell (AKA. Mataro/Mourvèdre), produced in the Jumilla region and refreshing white Albariño and Verdejo from north western Galacia.
