Almost no fino has an address. Most are blended from Palomino grown wherever it happened to grow, but Inocente comes from a single vineyard: Macharnudo Alto, a high chalk plateau above Jerez long considered one of the great sites in all of Spain. Valdespino ferments it in old oak casks, which virtually nobody does anymore, then ages it under a living blanket of flor yeast in solera. What emerges is bone dry, and that dryness is the entire point. Green almond, sourdough, olive brine, a gust of sea air, and a finish that simply refuses to quit. Treat it like the serious white wine it is: pour it cold into a proper glass, put food next to it, and once it is open keep it in the fridge and finish it within a few days.

"As with many other wines from the José Estévez group, there is a special bottling of Valdespino's flagship NV Fino Inocente in magnum, but in this case they have kept the bottles for six months as the wine is from the saca otoño 2016, the autumn bottling from 2016. So the wine is offered with some extra bottle age. It has all that you expect from Inocente, a long aging wine fermented in bota from grapes grown exclusively in the Macharnudo Alto vineyard and bottled with an average age of ten years. All the textbook aromas and flavors are there, coupled with the elegance and mineral intensity the Macharnudo white chalky soils provide. Customers who purchase one of this scarce magnums probably know Inocente already. This will have a longer development in bottle. Only 600 magnums were filled in the autumn of 2016."
