About this product

ABOUT OLOROSO C11 BALBAÍNA ALTA
Oloroso C11 Balbaína Alta is an elegant and complex fortified
wine, crafted in the traditional style of the Jerez region. It
is produced from carefully selected Palomino Fino grapes
grown in the prestigious Pago Balbaína vineyard. This wine
undergoes a balanced aging process in centuries-old
soleras located in the historic Barrio Bajo of Sanlúcar de
Barrameda. The result is a sophisticated wine that combines
richness, smoothness, and depth, showcasing the unique
character of the terroir and the expertise of Bodegas Barrero.
TASTING NOTES
Toasted notes, vanilla, and fine wood on the nose. The
mouthfeel is voluminous, broad, and complex, yet gentle
and velvety.
SOIL
The vineyards of Pago Balbaína, including Las Cañas and
La Soledad, are planted on Albariza soil, a characteristic
white, chalky, and calcareous soil typical of the Jerez
Superior area. Albariza is renowned for its excellent water
retention properties, which help the vines survive the hot, dry
Mediterranean climate by storing moisture during the rainy
season and releasing it slowly. This unique soil contributes
to the elegant minerality, freshness, and complexity found
in the Oloroso wines from this region.
WINEMAKING
Produced from first-press musts. Fermented with native
yeasts in Viña Las Cañas winery. Fortified and aged in
18th-century soleras in the Santa Inés winery, Barrio Bajo of
Sanlúcar. Aging follows a 6-tier solera system with a 5-year
average age, one annual saca.
