Muchada-Léclapart
The vignerons of Sanlúcar de Barrameda
The soul of the region: the palomino grape and the albariza soils in their purest state.
Muchada-Léclapart is the project of David Léclapart and Alejandro Muchada in the Marco de Jerez, a historic wine region on the Atlantic coast of Andalusia. As artisan wine vignerons have full confidence in the respectful work of the vineyard. Since 2011, when they met for the first time, they have shared a common concern for biodynamic viticulture, for the promotion of living soils and for the transcendence of agriculture and wine.
The key is to look for the best raw material (with the selection of its plots of albariza and old palomino land), find its most delicate expression (with its biodynamic viticulture) and to preserve that value in the winery (with minimum intervention techniques).
They have succeeded in creating a great white wine, without flowering veil and without fortifying, based on respect and care for the soul of Jerez: the land of Albariza and the Palomino grape.
Located in the best lands of vineyards of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, in the historic Pago Miraflores, Taking advantage of the cool climate of the Atlantic Ocean, they have recovered four hectares of mostly old vineyards of old palomino fino and muscatel de Chipiona.
To make the wines they use techniques minimum intervention: they add the minimum sulphur content (only 10% of the usual), they do not use selected yeasts or acids to rectify the acidity, they keep the lees and bottle without filtering. Overcoming the risks, with a delicate and careful work, the result they achieve is sublime: a dry, saline and mineral white wine, with subtle aromas, long on the palate, and absolutely gastronomic.
