Vineyard and elaboration
Vineyards are located in Calderín del Obispo in Balbaína, on a Barajuela and Tosca Cerrada types of Albariza soil.
Night harvest is handmade, using baskets of no more than 14 kg.
Grapes undergo a selective process at the selection table and they later ferment in both steel tanks and open castks for roughly 30 days. It is a very static process, with little pump-overs so as to fully preserve this variety's elegance and softness. Finally, wine ages 5 months in 5-year-old oak barrels followed by 15 more months in a deposit before being bottled.
The winery
Bodegas Luis Pérez starts in 2002 under the following premise: 'Jerez must go back to the vineyard'. Since then, he has gone great lenghts to develop personal projects to interpret his homeland.
Its story begins in a buildig dated from 1844. It was restored and wine was made there for some years, until they built the new winery for size reasons.
They do a handmade harvesting at night and work with a selection table and gravity-led runoff. Depending on the plot and the type of grape, they do diverse elaborations, always experimenting and trying to learn every year.
Nowadays they work with stainless steel deposits, vats, barrels, concrete and winebags, although winemaking depends more on the origing of the grape rather than on the material where it is done.
