This Fino Sherry comes the single, 8-hectare Viña Corrales within the Balbaina Pago. Peter Sisseck is bringing the meticulous viticulture he pursues at Pingus to bear; this plot is farmed biodynamically.

Palomino grapes are destemmed, pressed, and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Fermentations start spontaneously with only indigenous yeast and temperatures are regulated to avoid heat spikes. The young wines enter their respective soleras when the next season’s bottling is withdrawn. The wine passes through 5 criaderas in 600-liter barrels (“botas”) under flor, with one bottling per year in the spring when the flor is most active.
