  • On-call time: 20 years

The nose is remarkably pure, with notes of fresh walnut, dried flowers and morel. Very nice attack, for an elegant and dry mouth, with hints of walnut and sour cherry. Sustained finish. Produced from 10 criaderas, i.e. 11 floors of casks, this is an extremely complex Fino, one of the best, with sensational value for money. 95/100 Decanter; 94/100 Wine Advocate, R.

Viticulture

Inocente is a classic Fino de Sherry, produced using the most traditional method, the criaderas and solera system. The wine, from a single vineyard called Inocente, is part of the famous Pago Macharnudo plots. It is fermented in American oak barrels and aged for over eight years under a veil of yeast.

Suggestions for accompaniment

Ideal as an aperitif, with tapas, smoked fish or hard cheeses like Manchego.

Finally, the winery is the only one in the appellation to produce single-vineyard wines: Inocente, Tío Diego, Viejo C.P. and Cardenal. The wines are still fermented according to the age-old traditional method. And very small...
