Vino de pasto is a table wine, here as opposed to a fortified sherry. The word is probably from the same root as pasture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But first a brief history. The P\u00e9rez family have been winemakers for several generations. In 2002 Luis, a professor of oenology and former winemaker at Domecq, set up his bodega just outside Jerez, together with his children. Most significantly, his son Willy has made his name as a brilliant winemaker that takes the sherry trade in new and interesting directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of their main objective is exploring the historic pagos (vineyards) of Jerez. This wine La Escribana is made of palomino fino grapes grown on Cerro de Obispo, a hill in the pago Macharnudo, on albariza (limestone) soil. This south-east facing plot, approximately 100 metres above sea level, is pruned in the local vara y pulgar pruning method (means stick and thumb, and has some similarity to Guyot). Picking is done twice; early for acidity, then later for more maturity. After a 5-6 hours asoleo (drying) and cold fermentation in steel, it undergoes 12 months of ageing on the lees with a little flor, in 80 years old sherry butts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This review is the first of a \u201ctriangle\u201d of unfortified wines from the sherry area.<\/p>\n\n\n

La Escribana<\/strong> 2022<\/strong> (Luis P\u00e9rez)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Light yellow. Notes of citrus (lemon peel), yellow apples, flowers, green olives, nuts, and also a tropical element. Full in the mouth, fresh, good acidity, some grapefruity bitterness and a marked saltiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Price: Medium <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Food: We had it with bacalao, but should go to a variety of tasty fish and light meat dishes, as well as various tapas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
