De La Riva - Macharnudo - San Cayetano - Vino de Pasto Blanco 2024

Macharnudo, the legendary vineyard of Jerez

Macharnudo is a legendary vineyard dating back to 1269 where the most prestigious Sherry wineries have produced world-renowned wines. Some of the most internationally acclaimed wines in Spanish history have emerged from these vineyards being selected in 2022 as one of the 10 most important vineyards in the world according to Decanter magazine.

Macharnudo has been the home of De la Riva for two centuries, with the purity of its calcareous soils than were classified officially in the 19th century again as exceptional. The wine originates from 3,35 hectares of Albariza, a highly pure chalky soil formed by the siliceous skeletons of miscroscopic diatom algae.

The 2024 vintage

The vintage 2024 started out dry and little hot but ended up mild. Ripening was very slow, thanks to the much milder temperatures and a large presence of humid winds.

The result is elegant, chalky and sapidity wines.
Macharnudo San Cayetano will have a very good ageing capacity, being enjoyable from a young age.

I loved this wine last year, and it is, again, a stellar creation. Effectively, this is an unfortified sherry, and the flavour might be somewhat alien to many, but the sheer beauty, wonder and infinitesimal detail here are staggering. Once tasted, never forgotten.

This opens with iodine, crusted sea salt and a subtle touch of lime, wrapped in delicate floral notes. The palate is saline and expansive, yet ample and incisive, with a deep texture. There’s a solid and angular, almost architectural sense of salinity here, layered and persistent. One of the most compelling expressions of this style. Drink or hold.

(Vino di Pasto; 100% Palomino Fino planted in 1988 on 3.35 hectares of Albariza, a very pure chalky soil formed by the siliceous skeletons of microscopic diatom algae; released after one year of flor aging; 13.5% alcohol; around 6000 bottles). Utterly unique! This is an unfortified Palomino and it comes from the famous Macharnudo vineyard in Jerez. To taste this is to believe! An incredible wine once again and a wine of massive vertical lift – the vinous equivalent of Elon Musk’s fantasy spaceship! Cordite. Flint. Whetstone. Struck match. Confit grapefruit rind. Citrus and almond stone, walnut shell too. A touch of leather and almost a hint of red berry fruits. White field flowers. Confit melon and almost the profile on the palate of a Sauternes from which all the residual sugar has been extracted and discarded. I’m throwing a lot of descriptors around here, but even together they fail really to capture the essence of this. A wine that is very difficult to describe. You’re going to have to trust me, it’s great!

Iodine and saltiness on the nose, really smells of the ocean - like an oyster shack with orange and lemon scents alongside white pepper and pears. Wild herbal elements with brisk acidity and a deep salty core - olive tapenade and lots of toasted nuts. Quite a singular style with some smokey reduction and a minerality that just lasts and lasts. Director Luis Pérez, winemakers Ramiro Ibáñez and Willy Pérez.

Hold on to your hats, this is grippy, slim, intense, a slow burn white that reminds you just how brilliant the Palomino grape can be. Gunsmoke reduction on the opening, juicy and fleshy but so understated, soy, sea spray, white pear, grilled almonds, with a touch of Xeres tang. Limestone soils, 3.35ha, harvest August 30, fermented in 615l sherry butts, no temperature control, one year of flor ageing. From the brilliant De La Riva winery, with owners and winemakers Willy Perez and Ramiro Ibanez.
