A Contra Luz (2021) White
100% Palomino Fino from 2 different vineyard sites. Manual harvest of Palomino from the "Gurugú vineyard" in Pago Miraflores (Clone 84) and Palomino from the "Santa Genoveva" vineyard in Pago Carrascal Jerez (Clon Palomino de Jerez).
Co-fermentation of both vineyards with skins and without stems for two weeks, extraction very aggressive (prior to fermentation) by treading over a period of 3 to 5 hours until the must becomes a jam-like paste and the seeds float. This type of port-style extraction seeks a very intense concentration of fruit characters and a fleshy phenolic structure.
Once spontaneous fermentation takes place and carbon dioxide is produced carbon, we performed two gentle pump-overs of five minutes each, one for the morning and one at night looking for a very smooth extraction.
Extraction press 60%. 70% of the must is aged in old chestnut ‘bota’ from Oloroso. 34 arrobas (700 litres) and the other 30% in a Cognac barrel.
