Le Fleq Palomino 2022 · Sherry Wine

Le Fleq Palomino 2022 is the work of Flequi Berruti, a winegrower with deep roots in Jerez and an unwavering passion for creating authentic and sustainable wines. Its origin is in Viña La Zarzuela, in Pago Añina, Cadiz, a privileged land where albariza and limestone soils give the wine an unmistakable minerality.

The philosophy of the Le Fleq winery focuses on natural agriculture and minimal intervention: fermentation with indigenous 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 where it was born.

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

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Pale yellow with golden reflections, slight turbidity typical of its minimal filtration.

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

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