Socaire

Collantes · Jerez-Xérès-Sherry, Spain

Socaire is recognized as one of the first white wine in the sherry triangle to explore the “whites from albariza” category. It combines aromas of the Palomino Fino grapes with hints of flor, giving the wine secondary herbaceous aromas, a chalky character with a delicate salty finish.
