Navazos La Bota 77 Vino Blanco MMXV Florpower

Unfortified white wine (Palomino Fino), Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Screwcap closure. After the Navazos-Niepoort bottling, La Bota de Florpower is Navazos’ second single-vineyard white wine. While the Navazos-Niepoort is sourced from Jerez’s de facto Grand Cru vineyard, Macharnudo, this wine comes from Sanlúcar’s own blue-ribbon terroir, the albarizas sanluqueñas of the pago Miraflores. The second major difference is that Florpower spends considerably more time under flor; eight months in bota (without fortification) followed by a further 12 months in tank. This release comes from the 2015 vintage and was bottled at 12.5% alc. after losing over 1% to the effects of the flor yeasts.
