Barbadillo Patinegro Organic Palomino 2020 750ml

Patinegro is a white wine from organic grapes and it is aged for 12 months in oak casks that previously held Manzanilla. This wine has not been clarified, and only lightly filtered.  Complex nose with lots of minerality and stone fruit before the cask then comes to the forefront.   Long and smooth finish with lots of texture and a light salty note lingering.  Perfect for pairing chicken or light creamy desserts.  

The History

Barbadillo's rich history dates all the way back to 1821, when they first embarked on the journey of crafting exceptional Manzanilla wine. Since then, they have become renowned for producing some of the finest wines and brandies in the world. Today, Bodegas Barbadillo is proudly operated by the seventh-generation descendants of the founder, solidifying its position as one of Spain's oldest privately-owned producers.
 

With a total of 500 hectares of vineyards across two picturesque farms, namely Santa Lucía and Gibalbín, Barbadillo holds a prominent presence in the esteemed Jerez Superior viticultural zone. Within these beautiful estates, they carefully cultivate their grapes, ensuring the highest quality for their wines. The maturation process takes place in an impressive collection of around 31,800 casks, housed in seventeen distinct bodegas. Most notably, these bodegas are located in the esteemed Barrio Alto district of Sanlúcar, widely regarded as the most prestigious area for aging wines.
 

Through their unwavering dedication to tradition and craftsmanship, Barbadillo continues to enchant wine enthusiasts with their exceptional offerings, a testament to their illustrious legacy and unwavering commitment to producing world-class wines and brandy.  When the opportunity arose for us to select our very own Barbadillio Grand Reserve Brandy we did not hesitate.  We also thought it would be remiss of us not to add a few extra treats on the boat as well, so we are proud to present a new range of brandy and wine from one of Spain's premier producers here in Australia for the first time.
