BODEGA VIÑA SANTA PETRONILA - Jerez-Xéres-Sherry. The smallest Sherry wine cellar in the world: old vines in Pago Macharnudo, manual harvest of overripe grapes for a Superior Sherry from albariza lands. Artisan winery, in the own vineyard in Macharnudo, natural fermentation, in oak sherry butts and in the vineyard itself, unfiltered, “on the branch” (without clarifying or stabilizing). Innovation returning to making like 100 years ago.Vineyard on a slope facing east, on a gentle hill, part of the marsh, floodplain forming the beards of what was at the beginning of our Era, the salty Ligustino Lake. Subsoil with saline water currents, 12 km from the Atlantic coast. Privileged situation where the grapes ripen with balance. The root system of the vitis-vinifera allows it to draw on this water reserve and produce fruits with a notable vegetative balance whose resulting wine is very unique. Born, made and raised in the marine subsoil of Sta. Petronila. The more than 40 years of aging allow the musts to reach a high natural alcohol content for Sherry, without exposure to sunlight. The North-South oriented Winery allows the light breezes from the Atlantic that penetrate through the Macharnudo valley to enter it.
