The same applies to the vineyard “El Hato”, located on the ring road A-480, which has a small area of 5.7 hectares of land albariza.
Vinification
This wine comes from the complete fermentation of Palomino grapes. 'Olorosos' are vocational wines; it's special structure advise tasters selection for oxidative aging. The initial heading to 17% ABV prevents the development of flor, so the wine ages exposed at all times to the slow action of oxygen through the traditional 'criaderas' and solera system. The slow water loss through the walls of the barrels promotes a continuous process of concentration, which makes the wine winning in structure, softness, and complexity.
