Frost candles staged at the bottom of the slope, just in case. Bud break on the Palomino Fino is right on time. Hot Atlantic-Mediterranean, cooled by the poniente wind.

Winemaker
Palomino on brilliant white albariza, raised under a veil of flor. The estate behind this lot is named only to enrolled members; until then you're backing the region, the style, and a verified track record — not a label.
The history.
The first vines here went in before the appellation lines were drawn. We still farm a handful of those old blocks on chalky white albariza, and rebuilt the cellar around them, not the other way round.
What this vintage is showing so far.
“Warm, early start, then it cooled off and steadied. Hot Atlantic-Mediterranean, cooled by the poniente wind The canopy's ahead of where I'd want it, so we're pulling leaves to keep air moving.”
— the winemaker, updated this month
Philosophy.
Palomino on brilliant white albariza, raised under a veil of flor. I pick on flavor, not numbers, and I'd rather make less and mean it.

No joke: the first shoots are up. We walked the property and flagged the gaps to replant — chalky white albariza here doesn't forgive a lazy season.
