From three different plots in Miraflores Alto and Miraflores Bajo, one of the most celebrated pagos in Sanlúcar, with 35 to 110 years old Palomino vines planted at 45-65 meters above sea level facing west on three different type of Albariza soils: Lentejuelas, Lustrillo and Tosca Cerrada. Bottled on the early side (usually less than a year after harvest), this cuvee is meant to be ready to drink upon release but please don't hesitate to stash a few bottles away - they age VERY well as I know from personal experience!
