Description

100% Palomino

Valdespino Fino Inocente is a wine made from Palomino Fino grapes grown on the renowned farm Pago Macharnudo Alto, which has vines that are over 25 years old.

Mosto yema (free-run must) ferments in 500-litre American oak butts. The wine is then aged under the cap of yeast (velo en flor), going through ten "criaderas," which is unusual for a Fino wine, which usually goes through three or four. The minimum age is eight years.

Valdespino is one of Jerez's oldest wineries. Mr Alfonso Valdespino was the first member of the Valdespino family to begin cultivating vines and ageing Sherry wines in the 13th century. Valdespino is currently owned by Grupo Estévez.

Valdespino is a reference in the ageing of Sherry wines, known for their traditional methods in the winemaking process.

All of the grapes used to make the Valdespino cru wines come from the farm Macharnudo Alto, which is located about 5 kilometres north-east of Jerez, at 135 metres above sea level, and is planted on typical "albariza" soils. The "albariza" are white calcareous soils that retain a lot of water.
