$130
100% Palomino
Ramiro Ibanez and Willy Pérez are a talented duo producing one of the region's great white wines. Macharnudo San Cayetano 2023 has limestone and mineral notes. Freshness, concentration and salinity make this a vibrant wine.
This is brilliant white from the Jerez region of Spain that uses a hint of the flor ageing technique but is bone dry. One of the most exciting wines on the Place this September, just arrestingly gorgeous, bursts through the palate, powerful twist of grilled salted almonds, with soaring acidity alongside juiced lime and lemon, crushed oyster shell, stretched out and thought-provoking.
