The vineyards in Jerez are unique to the area. The soil in Jerez is majority Albariza, a white soil which contains up to 60% chalk and therefore has a large capacity for maintaining moisture, very important given the long, hot and dry summers as irrigation is prohibited. The area has a unique microclimate influenced by the surrounding Atlantic ocean and rivers Guadalquivir and Guadalete. The prevailing winds are moist and warm, and now and again dry and hot levante winds from north Africa. Temperatures are warm with 70% humidity and annual rainfall is 600 liters/m2. The harvest in Jerez begins mid August and generally lasts for 3 weeks maximum.

| TASTING NOTES | Due to its time in contact with oxygen, Alfonso shows a golden amber color. On the nose round intense aromas with the nuttiness of the Palomino variety standing out, in this case hazelnuts and walnuts. As a result of the time spent in cask Alfonso shows subtle aromas of oak and spiced notes which remind one of truffle or leather. On the palate flavorful and structured with a long and complex aftertaste and slight vanilla touches with a surprising sweet note on the finish. |
| FOOD PAIRING | The dryness of the wine makes it perfect for gelatinous meats such as oxtail and pork cheeks. |
