Cota 45 - UBE - Miraflores, Sanlucar de Barrameda, Andalusia, Spain (2022)

TASTING NOTES

One of our favourite wines. Salty, fresh, white flowers and stones. This is a luminous wine that absolutely tingles the palate with yellow apples and wet stones, olive brine and almonds, fresh bread and minerals. Absolutely yum.

UBE Miraflores is a white wine produced by the winery Cota 45 in Sanlúcar de Barrameda - a key town of the "sherry triangle". 

Cota 45 is the project of Ramiro Ibáñez, a prestigious oenologist from Jeréz who works as an adviser in different wineries of the Sherry Triangle (Marco de Jeréz). With Cota 45, Ramiro seeks to make manzanilla as they did in the olden days, without fortification and with shorter ageing, bringing all the focus on the terroir and the personality of each farm. With all the expression of the grapes marked by the soils, the climate and the vintage, and with the ageing only present to the necessary extent, to complement and boost the character of the terroir.

UBE Miraflores is a wine made from Palomino Fino from different plots of the farm Pago de Miraflores, Miraflores Alta and Miraflores Baja, with several types of albariza soils.

After fermenting in Sherry butts, it is aged for 8 months in selected butts with presence of the yeast cap (flor) in the last 2 months.
