Equipo Navazos’ Macharnudo Alto bottling—drawn from Valdespino’s Inocente solera—probably needs no introduction to our audience. No. 68 is a saca made in June 2016 from the same batch of casks that already gave us the seven previous (and legendary!) editions of this wine (the most recent being No. 54). This new release has an estimated average age of between ten and eleven years, and comes specifically from a selection of casks from the first and the second criaderas.

The nose shows very complex aromas of dried fruits and grilled nuts, partially as a result of the autolysis of dead “flor” yeasts resting on the bottom of the vessels; while the palate is both pulpy textured and has a super complex, spicy, chalky and racy close. This new release is a beauty, packed with personality and chalky, iodine goodness.

Reviews

“The NV La Bota de Fino Macharnudo Alto 68 is a similar wine to what was bottled in the editions 54, 34, 27, 18, 15, 7 and 2; it is produced like the wines from yesteryear, fermented in bota and kept in contact with flor for some ten years. This is a classic already, and they are bottling more or less the same botas as in previous editions. Here, the soil is as strong (or more) than the long aging, and has lots of things in common, the chalkiness, with their other wines (think Navazos Niepoort for example), which provide a special sapidity. Some 6,000 bottles produced; they are producing a little bit more, so the wine is bottled every two years, as the wine ages nicely in bottle.”
