Muchada-Léclapart
Architect turned wine maker Alejandro Muchada, and Champagne producer David Léclapart started this project in 2015, with the idea of expressing the potential of Palomino (there is also a bit of Muscat) grapes without the use of fortification or oxidation. The vineyards are in the legendary Pago Miraflores, the most famous vineyard in Jerez. Most of the wines are fermented in old oak barrels, and they see a long ageing on the lees. These are compelling wines, with a strong sense of terroir and deeply Atlantic in character, and surely some of the most amazing wines we’ve tasted!
Univers
Univers is the entrance to the “Universe”: fresh, saline and elegant; pure palomino grape. Its grapes come from the Miraflores Baja plot, with coarse albariza soils and red lustrillos soils. Its salinity and purity stand out, due to the fermentation in the old solid steel champagne tanks. The vineyard highlights the salinity of the plot with subtle hydrocarbons and gunpowder, aromas associated with the large albariza plots.
