Callejuela La Choza Pago Macharnudo

Callejuela La Choza Pago Macharnudo is a white wine without denomination of origin produced by the winery Callejuela in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Cádiz.

 

Callejuela was founded in 1980 by Francisco Romero Blanco, after spending more than 20 years as a labourer. He started making musts in some small facilities and selling to the large wineries in the area. In 1998, the third generation of the Blanco family took over the vines and the winery, creating the brand Callejuela.

Currently, Callejuela has 28 hectares of vineyard and 700 butts where they age their wines. Their main philosophy lies within the vineyard; for a good ageing there must be good grapes.

 

Callejuela La Choza Pago Macharnudo is part of a series of three wines made in the same way from Palomino. However, the grapes come from three different farms, showing the maximum expression, the personality and the richness of nuances of the various terroirs of the area.

Callejuela La Choza Pago Macharnudo is a wine made from Palomino from the vineyard Las Chozas, with 4.4 hectares, located in the farm Pago Añina, at 74 metres of altitude, planted on albariza soils. It is the mildest farm of the three.

The harvest is carried out by hand. After the fermentation, this wine is aged for 7 months in manzanillo butts under the yeast cap (velo flor).

 

Callejuela La Choza Pago Macharnudo is a fluid, elegant wine with volume. On the nose, the notes of ripe white fruit stand out, on a very subtle flowery background. In the mouth, it is dense, easy to drink and fresh. It is the most balanced one of the three.
