2021 Altos de Montanchez, 'Bajo Velo' Extremadura, Spain
$16.99
This is a pre-order item expected to arrive early October 2025.
In the category of unfortified, "sherry-style" wines, this takes the cake at being the most affordable and certified organic style on the market today! Made from 100% of a rare local grape called Eva de los Santos, in certified organic vineyards in Extremadura. Harvested by hand, fermentation happens with indigenous yeast in tank for 31 days. The wine is then aged "Bajo Velo" (under flor) in older oak casks for 277 days followed by cement tanks for 301 days. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with low to no SO2. Tastes a little like a softer nod towards a Manzanilla. Very delicious!
