About this Wine

Hacienda de Dooña Francisca' is a specific small vineyard within Pago Callejuela, on the estuary side of Sanl̼car. The Albariza here is Tosca cerrada. The fruit is picked at full maturity, which only plays out to 12% due to the cool site and poniente breezes. The juice is fermented in old Manzanilla botas, and the resultant wine is aged on fine lees with 10% ullage for 7 months of ageing under velo de flor. The smaller ullage than typical facilitates only a light coverage of flor, which in combination with the shorter ageing term, emphasises expression of the Albariza over that of the yeast.

A deep plane of chalk layers nose and palate, accompanied by equally deep herb marmalade, and a strong steely thread. It's vertical, and salty, typical of Sanl̼car palomino - bracey, racy, lightly structured, delicate and charming. Anise, marzipan, pickled ginger, peach skin, dandelion. Palomino in Albariza here is like a swimmer standing up in the shallow end of the poo, shivering.

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.
