Manuel Antonio de la Riva y Pomar

La Riva Manzanilla Pasada Balbaína Alta

Another amazing “almacenista” wine by Ramiro Ibáñez and Willy Pérez, from a small solera of 20 casks they bought from a small producer. Grapes were sourced from a small plot in the Cerro de los Cuadrados, within the Pago Balbaína Alta, located between Jerez and El Puerto de Santa María, not far from the coast (hence marked by the Atlantic influence).They selected 5 casks (with an estimated age of 15-18 years) for this bottling and left the rest to make Amontillado. Intense nose, notes of yeast, sea breeze. Elegant, concentrated, great texture. — a year ago

Socaire

Palomino Fino Blanco de Albariza 2018

Unfortified 100% Palomino from the Pago de Matalian vineyard in Chiclana, the southernmost point within the Jerez wine region, on Spain’s Atlantic coast. Fermented in old Sherry casks and aged for 24 months without flor.

Because the Jerez-Xérès-Sherry appellation requires its wines to be aged in bodegas within the towns of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda (the so-called “Sherry triangle”) growers outside these three towns traditionally relied on large bodegas in Jerez to have their wines aged and sold (under different brands). As sherry sales declined, prices paid to these growers became unsustainable and most vineyards in towns like Chiclana were abandoned (from the nearly 3,725 documented in the 1890s, only 139 remain). A partnership of Ramiro Ibáñez and Primitivo Collantes, Socaire is a commendable effort to preserve Chiclana’s winemaking tradition and to revive almost forgotten wine styles (such as dry, unfortified white wines) that were common in the region before the advent of the solera system.
