CORRALES JEREZ
Bodegas San Francisco Javier is the new joint venture in Jerez between Peter "Pingus" Sisseck and the owners of Hacienda Monasterio.
Together they bought an impressive solera with the idea to produce Fino wines, plus eight hectares of vines in Pago Balbaína and a further two in Pago Macharnudo. This is the very first bottling, and after the rave reviews from wine critics, we can expect this joint venture to continue, promising two different wines in the future.

"This is a powerful and fresh Fino, pungent and persistent, long, amazingly elegant, vibrant and alive. I was floored by the complexity and elegance of this wine."
93+ points for the technical quality of the wine, but the style (Sherry) is not my cup of tea. Anyone that has interest in my second bottle? 😂 — 4 years ago
