Le Fleq Palomino 2022 · Sherry Wine

Le Fleq Palomino 2022 is the work of Flequi Berruti, a winemaker with deep roots in Jerez and an unwavering passion for creating authentic and sustainable wines. Its origin lies in the La Zarzuela vineyard, in the Añina area of Cádiz, a privileged land where the marl and limestone soils impart an unmistakable minerality to the wine.

The philosophy of the Le Fleq winery focuses on natural agriculture and minimal intervention: fermentation with native yeasts and aging in 500L French oak barrels for 10 months. The result is a wine with an elegant character, full of nuances and faithful to the terroir that gave it birth.

The 2022 vintage, marked by a warm and dry climate, favored optimal ripening of the Palomino grapes, resulting in a fresh, vibrant and deeply expressive wine.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Pale yellow with golden reflections, slightly cloudy due to its minimal filtration.

• Nose: Delicate aromas of white flowers, fresh citrus, and a herbal touch.

• Taste: Light and mineral, with flavors of lemon, bitter almond and a saline background that evokes the Atlantic sea breeze. Clean, elegant and refreshing finish.
