Beschrijving

De Macharnudo San Cayetano 2023 is een pasto-wijn uit de beroemde Macharnudo-wijngaard in Jerez. Dit is een intense wijn met veel finesse, concentratie en frisheid, die vanaf de eerste slok doet watertanden. We raden aan om hem een paar jaar op fles te laten rijpen

Meningen van critici

James Suckling:

The aromas of sliced apples, blossom honey, lilacs and salt follow through to a medium body with energy and focus. Notes of flint. So lively and vivid, with a classic nature and a compressed palate. It’s refined, compact and totally integrated. More refined than the 2022. Pure palomino. From a single parcel in one of the best vineyards of Jerez. Fermented in Sherry casks and then aged with 15% flor. Drinkable now, but even better from 2025.

The Wine Advocate:

The unfortified white 2023 Macharnudo San Cayetano comes from a very old plot of Palomino in Pago Macharnudo, San Cayetano, where the natural concentration is even higher. San Cayetano has different exposures, and this is selected from the north-facing side, which gives more freshness and elegance to the wines. It's intense, powerful and elegant, still very young but with a lot of nuances, with more character and without the baby fat. This is a wine they sell through La Place de Bordeaux. This has only around 15% of wine with flor; with time it develops notes of licorice and spices, even hints of esparto grass. Tasty and fresh. There's a lot of finesse here; it's different from the 2022 but at the same quality level (or higher!). It has only 13.5% alcohol. 6,000 bottles produced.
