Equipo Navazos La Bota 116 De Oloroso Montilla

Saca de October 2022. Pérez Barquero co-owner Rafael Cordoba has been caring for his vineyards and cellar for decades. He is considered a master at obtaining truly outstanding musts, both yema (first press) and vino de color (second press). It’s with these second-press musts that Pérez Barquero’s winemaker, Juan Márquez, uses to produce his Olorosos. No. 116 La Bota de Oloroso Montilla comes from a selection of casks from the Solera Diógenes, located in the third row at Pérez Barquero’s Bodega El Puente. The main difference from the previous saca, No. 74, is that this time, all the casks selected belong to the solera itself, while Navazos picked some vessels from younger criaderas as well for the previous release. This fact, together with the elapsed time and the small withdrawal from these casks, explains why this wine is almost five years older than its predecessor. Its estimated average age is, therefore, close to 35 years!
