Sotovelo: Flor-Aged Palomino - The Revolutionary White Wine of Jerez

Prepare for a revelation in white wine. Sotovelo is a groundbreaking, unfortified white wine from the historic vineyards of Jerez, Andalusia, made from the region's noble Palomino grape. It reclaims the ancient, time-honoured technique of flor ageing—traditionally reserved for Fino Sherry—to create a still white wine that is utterly unique and gastronomically thrilling.  

This is a must-try for those who enjoy adventurous, bone-dry whites with complexity and an unparalleled sense of place.

75cl bottle | 12% ABV | Cork closure

The Magic of the Flor

Sotovelo is not a Sherry—it's a still, dry white wine—but it is crafted using the same exceptional biological ageing process.  

• Grape: 100% Palomino

• Terroir: Sourced from the famous, chalky-white Albariza soils of Pago Balbaona which impart a distinctive minerality.  

• Ageing: The wine rests for 8 months in old wooden barrels beneath a layer of flor—a veil of natural yeast that protects the wine from oxidation while imparting its unique flavour signature.  

Tasting Notes

The flor ageing gives Sotovelo a fascinating profile that perfectly balances freshness with complexity.

• Aroma: A complex and spellbinding nose of almond, toasted bread, and sourdough, interwoven with bright citrus, green apple, and a hint of nectarine.  

• Palate: Bone-dry, clean, and refreshing. The palate showcases a profound saline, mineral, and umami (savoury) character that is incredibly moreish. It’s silky, elegant, and intensely flavourful.  

• Finish: Perfectly crisp and dry, with very low residual sugar (less than 1g/L), leaving a long, clean, and refreshing finish that begs for food.  

The Ultimate Food Wine

Sotovelo is renowned for its incredible versatility and is a perfect match for classic Mediterranean cuisine.  

• Tapas & Aperitifs: Olives, cured meats (especially Iberian ham), salted almonds, and artisanal cheeses.  

• Seafood: An ideal partner for grilled fish, prawns, oysters, and premium preserved seafood like Cantabrian anchovies.  

• World Cuisine: Try it with sushi, light curries, or savoury vegetarian dishes.

Sotovelo is a wine for the adventurous palate. If you love the complexity of Fino Sherry but seek the elegance and freshness of a still white, this is your new favourite bottle.
