Envinate "Palo" Tenerife Blanco 2019
Winemaker's Notes
"Palo Blanco is sourced from a 1.5ha vineyard of centenarian cordon trenzado (braided vines) Listan Blanco, and is named for the area where it's planted. The grapes are hand-harvested, pressed full cluster into large concrete tank off the skins and fermented without malolactic occurring, then raised in two Friulian 2500L oval foudres for 10 months. Bottling is without fining, filtration or any added SO2. Palo Blanco is a volcanic island wine: high-toned, linear, saline and electric."

Wine Spectator
(5/31/2018) "Alluring, with gently singed sandalwood and alder notes framing a core of dried orange peel, persimmon and green tea flavors. A walnut oil accent infuses the finish, adding a viscous feel. Drink now. 125 cases made, 41 cases imported."

Valdespino "Vina Macharnudo Alto" Vino de la Tierra de Cadiz Palomino 2018
Screaming with chalky minerality, this bone-dry white from the Jerez region is the evolution of Sherry. Very cool, totally unique and totally delicious.

(4/3/2021) "An unfortified offering from one of Jerez's oldest bodegas. Grapes are sourced from Valdespino's historic Macharnudo Alto vineyards. Fermentation took place in used Sherry casks where the wine remained until the following July before being transferred to stainless steel for a final period of settling before bottling. Gloriously complex. The fine buttery notes on the nose, with Palomino's subtle aromatics, lead on to a lively, lightweight, fresh crispness. There's a real sense of place here, with a brisk saline tang and a long, resounding finish. Expressive flor character with Marmite and iodine complexity and a long and complex finish. Lemons and almonds on the nose, clear Sherry character which reminds me of festival-time rebujitos in Jerez. An attractive oxidative character with a hint of tannin on the palate and creamy nutty notes. This speaks of place and variety, but in a reimagined way. A dry table wine in a Sherry style, capturing the essence of Andalucia. Drinking Window: 2021 - 2024."

Bodegas Valdespino "Inocente" Fino Sherry NV

Wine & Spirits
(8/2018) "Inocente is Valdespino's flagship, a wine from the Macharnudo Alto vineyard, where the soil is pure white albariza. It ferments in 600-liter wooden casks without added yeasts, a practice that has become increasingly rare in Jerez. The intensity of the wine's salinity is remarkable-iodine and salt-coming together with ripe white fruit, scents of nuts and exotic spices. The structure is dry and austere, like drinking the juice of stones. This will last for a decade in the cellar, but it's impossible to hold onto a bottle if there's raw seafood nearby."
