TASTING NOTE

The En Rama release takes La Gitana to its logical extreme: the same wine, the same vineyards, the same solera, but bottled without filtration or fining, directly from the barrel. Released seasonally, with each bottling reflecting the state of the flor at a specific moment in the year — spring sacas tend to show the most vivid character, when the flor is at its thickest.

The nose is more intense and complex than the standard La Gitana: the saline and chamomile notes are amplified, the yeasty character more pronounced, and there is an almost briny quality that recalls the Atlantic on a cold day. The palate is broader, with greater weight and texture, and the finish is longer and more complex. Drink within months of bottling, very cold, in a large glass. One of the finest en rama releases produced anywhere in Sanlúcar.
