Supplementary information

Fino Añada 2017 Production: The vintage project by Pagos began in 2017. After selecting grapes from Pago de Carrascal, the first-press must ferments at a controlled temperature. After subsequent lees settling, it is fortified to 15.5º and begins its biological aging period in old barrels, naturally developing the flor veil.

From the set of 17 vessels, a special selection has been made from barrels that stand out for the exceptional finesse, structure, volume, and minerality of Pago de Carrascal.

Vintage characteristics:

Climatology: year with normal rainfall (600L/m2)
Characteristics: Extremely fine wine, with structure and volume. Pure expression of elegance and minerality.

Vintage System Production: Unlike traditional Sherry wines, aged through the “Solera and Criaderas” system, these vintage wines age statically. For their production, musts from old vines in the Pagos de Añina and/or Carrascal are selected and fortified to 15º for biological aging, or to 18º for oxidative aging. These wines are monitored during their aging, during which no intervention is made until the time of selection for bottling. In contrast to the homogeneity provided by the Criaderas and Soleras System, in which wines of different ages are methodically blended, each of these wines is unique and special. These wines reflect the harvest of the year and its particular climatic conditions, as well as the peculiar evolution of each during its static aging.
