Bodega San Francisco Javier Vina Corrales Fino 2023 Bottling

Tasting Notes

Bodega San Francisco Javier has eight hectares in Pago Balbaína and a further two in Pago Macharnudo. These pagos, literally vineyards although more akin to villages in Burgundian terms, are two of the great terroirs of Jerez. Viña Corrales is Peter’s Fino from Pago Balbaína. At 92 metres of elevation, this is the highest area in Jerez and overlooks the sea. The vineyard is currently in the process of organic certification.Soils are ‘tosca de barajuela’ albariza, a prized type of laminated limestone. Whilst average yields in the region are 10-15,000kg per hectare, Peter makes half that, at 6-7,000kg/ha. of the world.”
