The wine

Pale yellow with light golden hints. Delicate lime and white fruit on the nose with mineral touches in the background.

This is not a sherry at all but an unfortified white table wine from Palomino, the grape that makes sherry, grown on the Macharnudo Alto chalk. Almost nobody bottles Palomino this way, because unfortified it is famously neutral, and the interest here lies in the site and the handling: only the yema, the first and finest 60% of the must, is used, and the wine is fermented in cask.

The producer

Valdespino

View all Valdespino wines

Valdespino is one of the oldest and most revered names in Jerez, a sherry house whose roots reach back centuries. It is celebrated above all for its single-vineyard bottlings and its refusal to compromise, making sherries of a purity and depth that connoisseurs treasure.

The jewel is the great albariza vineyard of Macharnudo Alto, source of the Inocente Fino, one of the last Finos still fermented in cask. Elsewhere the house draws on ancient soleras for Amontillados, Palo Cortados and Olorosos of extraordinary age, alongside a decadently sweet Pedro Ximénez.

From the bone-dry, saline Inocente and sea-fresh Manzanilla Deliciosa to the profound VOS bottlings and the sherry-based Herencia vermouth and quina, the range is a masterclass in the diversity of Jerez.

Historic, uncompromising and endlessly rewarding, Valdespino is sherry at its most serious. Discover a true benchmark of the region.
