2018 Cota 45 UBE Miraflores
Jerez, Spain
It's like Sherry, but not. This is a dry Palomino aged under flor but made as a table wine. Blisteringly good if you like saline, sharp whites with a kick.

Ibañez is one of the brightest young winemakers that is revolutionizing the wines of Jerez.
Luis Gutiérrez (The Wine Advocate)
About The Wine
This is the best place to start if you are looking to explore the exciting wines of the boundary pushing Ramiro Ibañez.
This is a dry blend of Palomino from different sites in Miraflores Alto and Miraflores Bajo aged 80 to 90 years of vine age. The wine is then aged in barrel under flor before bottling producing a dry table wine that shows characters slightly reminiscent of Sherry.
Ibañez is taking a look back at the historic winemaking traditions of the Jerez region and reviving some of the tried and true methods of old. This is the refreshing, saline, zesty result.
It's a fascinating drink. Savoury, textural, and pulsating with energy. Cracking value for the interest and deliciousness on offer here.

From five different plots in Miraflores Alto and Miraflores Bajo, one of the most celebrated pagos in Sanlúcar, with 80 to 90 years old Palomino vines planted at 50 to 60 meters above sea level facing west on three different type of Albariza soils: Lentejuelas, Lustrillo and Tosca Cerrada.
Bottled on the early side (usually less than a year after harvest), this cuvee is meant to be ready to drink upon release but please don't hesitate to stash a few bottles away.

Critic Reviews
"With a keen acid backbone, this is a complex, vital wine showing spice, minerals and subtle nuts, with an amazing crystalline quality to the flavours. Bright lemony notes mix with some green apple, and there’s real length and intensity here. Zippy and alive, with a subtle flor quality – it doesn’t dominate at all. This is such a lovely wine." - Wine Anorak

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you.
