Vara y Pulgar Tintilla

Vara y Pulgar is crafted from Tintilla, a rare and nearly forgotten grape from the Jerez region. Cultivated in Jerez for centuries, Tintilla, along with other varieties, nearly vanished after the phylloxera epidemic in the early 20th century. 

This wine, made in a fresh style, captures the complexity and beauty of the local terroir.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Dark fruit and earthy notes
• Palate: Medium-bodied with fresh acidity and fine tannins
• Finish: Elegant and balanced

Production Highlights:

• Soil: Albariza soils, a light and porous chalk similar to that in Champagne
• Harvest: Manual harvest
• Vinification: Native fermentation with minimal intervention. Vara y Pulgar undergoes 18 months of aging. Initially, it spends 10 months in a combination of 40% oak vat and 60% 6,000-liter concrete tank. This is followed by an additional 8 months in used 225-liter French oak barrels.

Food Pairing: Pork, stews, and grilled vegetables
