Fabulous dry, unfortified Palomino from Andalucia. - in fact from some great vineyards in Jerez. Lovely intesity of fruit, not overlly fino in style like some of the unfortifieds, can imagine would be fabulous with some fried anchovies/sardines or salted cod for example.
"The 2023 El Muelle de Olaso comes from a warm year but less warm than 2022 and more balanced. It was produced with Palomino grapes from 40- to 50-year-old vines on "barajuela" laminar albariza marl soils fermented mostly in stainless steel (80%) and only 20% in bota. It matured in stainless steel for six months. Pérez confessed that the wine has a little more Macharnudo wine this vintage (and in 2024, it will represent 75% of the wine). The wine is still a baby, primary and undeveloped but with a lot of finesse; it's a year of less concentration, and it has nuance and detail, a fine thread and a long, clean and tasty finish. I like it very much. This should age at a slower pace. "
