Callejuela Blanco de Hornillos 2017
This Palomino aged without flor is named for Pago de Hornillo, where the
Callejuela bodega stands, just away from the Atlantic, on the estuary side of
Sanlúcar de Barrameda. It is made of fruit from Hornillo itself, and Pagos
Callejuela, Añina, and Macharnudo. Fermented and aged in stainless, 12.5% abv.
Grassy, with a typical false sweetness from the chalk, and a lovely bitter point
to finish. Golden and floral with a hit of heavy metal mineral, some waxy herbal
extract bitterness and a touch of smoke rising, like very delicate lapsang
souchang. The soft fruit feels are nicely rounded atop a layer of thick steel
minerality. The palate is floral-flavour equivalent of marmalade, without any
viscous sweetness, finishing lean and dry. Soft, gentle, mineral, and...clean as
a fossil.
