SABALO

‘Sabalo’ is made 100% from organic Palomino grape. It was crafted by Barbadillo’s winemaker Montse Molina whose many years of experience working with the Palomino grape have ensured the optimum quality of this wine.
The terroir influence here is considerable as all the grapes are grown on the famous chalky ‘Albariza’ soil of the region. The wine’s great finesse and delicate flavors are a reflection of both this soil and the vineyards’ proximity to the sea and the River Guadalquivir.
The grapes come exclusively from two certified organic vineyards and were the first in the region to convert to organic production. The first is near Sanlúcar with 35 years old vines and has been certified organic since 2003.
The second vineyard is on the crest of a hill overlooking the Guadalquivir wetlands towards Sanlúcar and Trebujena. The vineyard is 25 years old and has been certified organic since 2008. With grapes from these two vineyards, we have blended the influence of the sea with that of the river.

Tasting Notes:
Pale straw in colour with clean subtle aromas suggesting mature apples. It is surprisingly full and silky with an ethereal sweetness despite being a dry wine. On the palate one senses soft mineral notes reflecting the chalky terroir origins.
