Description

Don’t let the playful label on this bottle fool you. This delectable Spanish skin-contact sipper hails from the Pago de Balbaìna Baja, just north of Cadiz, in Sherry country. Made from 100% organic Palomino fermented with skin from Pedro Ximénez grapes in clay amphorae, then allowed to rest for 12 months on lees, the finished wine is expressive and deep, with notes of rose, baked apple, honeyed fruit, and a mouthwatering, velvety texture. Tannins are subtle and supple, making this a lacy, racy partner for cheese and charcuterie, bruschetta, oysters, and grilled shrimp.

Bodega de Forlong

Bodega de Forlong is the classic utopian story of love at first sight: love of the land, of the return to traditions, love of the natural elements and an overall profound admiration and respect for the environment. Alejandro Naváerez y Rocío Áspera are natives of El Puerto de Santa Maria, old classmates who became friends turned lovers turned business partners and dreamcatchers. Rocío is native to El Puerto de Santa Maria and Alejandro, half Spanish by way of Málaga/half French by way of his mother, can’t recall a childhood meal in which wine was not the centerpiece of great discussion. Today, their catalog of playful, certified organic, biodynamically influenced, natural wines made with love from El Puerto de Santa Maria, Andalucía is a colorful array of Andalucian expression.
