Equipo Navazos, Jerez, La Bota de Vermouth 133 Blanco Seco Dry Navazos

Equipo Navazos continues their rigorous selection process with La Bota 133, a Blanco Seco vermouth built upon a foundation of Palomino Fino aged under flor in the humid coastal bodegas of Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Eschewing the high sugar levels typical of the category, the producers macerate a precise selection of botanicals directly into a dry base wine to maintain the structural transparency and saline tension of the Marco de Jerez’s albariza soils. This technical decision highlights the wine’s maritime origins, where the proximity to the Atlantic and the high calcium content of the white earth produce a lean, mineral-driven profile. The palate is defined by its architectural firmness, featuring a fine-grained phenolic grip and a savory, austere density that reflects both the biological aging process and the integrated bitterness of the herbal infusions. By prioritizing the integrity of the base wine over aromatic masking, Navazos delivers a vermouth of significant weight and persistence, anchored in the geographic and technical reality of traditional Sherry production.
