The wines originate from the historic Añina vineyard area and have an average age of around six years, developing beneath a living layer of flor that protects them from oxidation while building their distinctive bread-like, nutty and saline character. Bottled en rama with only minimal filtration, this release captures the wine close to its condition in the cask, with just 3,600 bottles produced. The year refers to the particular spring withdrawal from the solera rather than a single harvest, making each saca a snapshot of the bodega and its flor at a precise moment in time.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
