17.5/20 (93/100) Приятный, комплексный букет: на первом плане орехи, за ними изюм, финики, имбирь, корица и песочное печенье. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью. Во вкусе появляется дополнительная нота булки бриошь. Сплошное удовольствие! — 6 years ago

Blend of different types of Palomino (Palomino Fino, Palomino Jerez and Palomino Pelusón) from a single vineyard within the Pago de Carrascal, in Sanlúcar (not to be confused with the eponymous Carrascal in Jerez, further inland). Located to the south of Miraflores, this is one of the most Atlantic influenced Pagos in Sanlucar, and also one of the first to be replanted after phylloxera – with vines over 100+ years old. Elegant, mineral, saline — 3 years ago

Gonzalez Byass’ flagship wine is 100% Palomino from the Macharnudo and Carrascal vineyards, aged for 4 years under flor in the Tio Pepe solera, started in the 1830s by the bodega founder’s uncle José Ángel (“tío Pepe” or “Uncle Joe”). At that time, Jerez was known for its exports of dark Amontillado and Oloroso, but Uncle Joe decided to reserve a few casks for the dry, lighter style of Fino he and other locals liked to drink. The wine rapidly took off and by the 1860s it was being exported to all major markets. Pale straw color. Sharp nose with aromas of almonds, green olives and yeast. Light, fresh, clean on the palate. Slightly saline — 5 years ago
