Un vin blanc de Pingus ?
Viña Corrales, le Fino du propriétaire de Pingus, Peter Sisseck
En effet,
Peter Sisseck est aussi tombé sous le charme de Jerez de la Frontera. Il a racheté une vieille maison de sherry à Jerez (San Francisco Javier) et y a apposé sa marque. Son ambition : élaborer des vins de terroir qui puissent bien vieillir.
Une première « saca » est arrivée chez nous il y a quatre ans et s'est immédiatement vendue. La nouvelle « saca » vient d’arriver ! En tout, seulement 180 bouteilles du fantastique Fino Viña Corrales.
L'année dernière, il a obtenu une note exceptionnelle de 96/100 dans The Wine Advocate !

"The NV Fino Viña Corrales Pago
Balbaína was bottled in the spring of 2023, as they try to bottle in the
spring when the flor is more active. They have realized that the wine
has a lot of influence from the weather of the year, and 2023 was a warm
year. This is closer to the 2021 bottling than the 2022. It's creamy,
vinous, round and lush. They are now refilling the barrels with wine
from their own vineyards, and the third criadera is almost 100% from
their own vineyard. This is very tasty, almost salty and with a marked
bitter twist in the finish, briny, with reminiscences of green olives
and esparto grass."
Bodegas San Francisco Javier is the joint venture in Jerez from Peter
"Pingus" Sisseck and Carlos "Hacienda Monasterio" del Río. I tasted the
2021 bottling of their Fino, which was even better, fresher and more
elegant than the already surprising 2020. I published this note as part
of the portfolio of his different wines, and I include it here for
context and completeness.
