Equipo Navazos 114 La Bota de Florpower Fino MMXXI

Spanish tasting notes translated into English - classic DRNKS.
At EQUIPO NAVAZOS we are determined to extract the full potential of biological ageing under flor at natural (unfortified) alcohol content. It was following that path that the white Navazos-Niepoort was produced for the first time in 2008 (there are quite a few vintages out in the market by now). Then we started a number of experiments ageing in butt and vats, using both palomino fino and pedro ximénez sourced from different terroirs in the Sherry district and Montilla – and even other non-commercial projects in Spain’s northeast and northwest. Experience has shown us that, in the end, the terroir of the vineyard always prevails regardless of the intensity and duration of aging, which is why we increasingly tend to limit the latter. Along this line, in 2022 we bottled the ninth vintage of Florpower that has got to the market (MMXXI, i.e., 2021), as release number 114 of the LA BOTA series.
