Raul Moreno 'Destellos' Blanco 2024 | Jerez, Spain

Delicious Vino di Pasto from Sherry country!

Producer: Raúl Moreno

Region: Jerez, Spain

Grapes: Palomino + Artino

Super cool and tasty coastal white. Full of salinity and minerality from the Palomino with a gorgeous citrus vibrancy from the Artino. The wine is textural, saline, and superbly balanced. Quite aromatic, a little pithy, and super fresh.

NERD NOTES:

From Puerto de Santa Maria & Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Co-fermentation of manual harvested Arinto (15%) and Palomino 'Clon 84' (larger grape from Sanlúcar, today less than 5% Palomino of this clone in the Jerez area). Lightly stomped and kept on skins for 12 hours prior whole bunched pressing in a basket press. Settling of solids from of the
must for 12 hours in ‘bocoyes’ (Large format Sherry Casks) of chestnut that previously contain Manzanilla or Amontillado Sherry. Reductive aging of the wine where the barrel are filled religiously once a week. Bâtonnage is not applied, and a reductive aging of the lees is sought. The wine is only racked once just before bottling. Seeking therefore to keep carbon dioxide in solution and do not add sulphur during aging. No corrections and no filtering
