About this Wine

Screwcap. Jancis, you had us at “not for fruit lovers”. Antes de la flor (‘before the flor’) is another milestone for the Equipo. Put simply, it’s an old vine, single-vineyard and single vintage Palomino, vinified in the classic white wine style. There was no biological aging. Another difference from previous Florpower releases is that No.99 was fermented and raised in stainless steel, not in cask.

As usual the grapes were hand harvested from old vines (up to 80-plus years of age) in Miraflores La Baja. This year they were naturally fermented and raised for 12 months in a single, 10,000-litre stainless-steel tank. In the bodega the wine remained protected from flor by topping up and remaining on its lees. The result is not just a fascinating insight into what the table wines of the region may have looked like (before fortification took hold) but it’s also simply a delicious, savoury vin de terroir of the bleach-white soils of Sanlucar.

Along with the Navazos-Niepoort bottling, La Bota de Florpower is Navazos’ second single-vineyard, unfortified white wine and is 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.

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, along with plenty of the oyster shell/iodine salinity that we expect of the finest Sanlúcar wines. At just 11.5% alc, this energetic, sapid and chalky textured wine was born to pair with food.

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.
