El Notario-Macharnudo Vino de Pasto 2022

Produced from 100% Palomino grown in the El Notario vineyard, this vino de pasto exemplifies the potential of the Macharnudo Alto terroir. Situated 115 metres above sea level, just 18 kilometres from the coast, the vineyard benefits from chalky albariza soils with a notable clay content.

Harvested by hand in mid-September, the grapes undergo a meticulous selection process over two months, with individual bunches picked in multiple passes. After harvest, the grapes are sun-dried for eight hours, increasing their potential alcohol content by 1-2 degrees.

The grapes are gently pressed to achieve a 50% yield, and fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts in 600-litre botas at low temperatures. A layer of flor forms during aging, allowing the wine to mature under this veil for 10 months. Unfined and unfiltered, it offers a pure expression of unfortified Palomino, with saline minerality, ripe stone fruit notes, and complex, hedonistic depth—an ideal match for gastronomy.
