Bodegas Barbadillo Patinegro
A vibrant white wine with complex flor, saline notes, and a powerful, refreshing finish
Bodegas Barbadillo Patinegro, Vino de la Tierra de Cádiz, Spain, is a bone-dry organic white still wine crafted from Palomino Fino grapes. Fermented spontaneously with native yeasts and aged for a year in old manzanilla casks, it develops a gloriously intense character. The nose offers rich flor, dry grass, and fresh brine, leading to an incredibly complex and powerful palate with yeasty, bread flavours, saline notes, and a vibrant ozone finish. This uniquely brilliant wine pairs perfectly with lean fish dishes, flavourful soups, vegetarian options like tofu and artichokes, or a selection of mild and hard cheeses. It is also vegan and vegetarian certified.

Vinification
Patinegro is made from the same grapes as Sábalo, with each vineyard vinified separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 17C. Fermentation is spontaneous and uses native yeasts. The wine is then aged for one year in old manzanilla casks, imparting a distinctive flor salinity to the wine.
