2020 Cota 45 UBE Miraflores

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.

Description

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 with 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.

94 Points - "Just a little bready flor influence (and mildly smoky) but essentially focused on the citrus-led fruit and floral aspects of Palomino, and the freshness and sapidity provided by the mixed albarizas of coastal pago Miraflores. Yellow flowers, fresh dewy apples and lemon rind. Great concentration. Exquisitely balanced and pure, with a long, laser-like mineral finish." - Darren Smith (Decanter)

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.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
