Description
Since the dawn of Jerez, Juan García Jarana's old bodega, tucked away in the Santiago neighbourhood, has been a small sanctuary of traditional ageing, where the art of the almacenista comes to life among century-old butts and a family legacy maintained with fierce devotion. Juan, who once ran a motorbike workshop, felt a visceral attraction to the soul of fino and oloroso, driven by a decision as bold as it was poetic: to rescue the ancestral solera of "Pata de Gallina" - an expression that alludes to the wine's unctuous, glyceric density - and deliver it in pure bottling under the Lustau umbrella. This Oloroso, 100% Palomino Fino, born of that intimate connection with the land and the albariza climate of Jerez, expresses the weight of tradition with a clarity that borders on the spiritual.
Elaboration
Lustau Oloroso Pata de Gallina Juan García Jarana is made by oxidative ageing from the beginning, without a flor veil, which allows the wood to dialogue with the wine without filters. The solera is made up of just 38 casks, located in the historic "El Aljibe" cellar, owned by Lustau, where the passage of time and the stable conditions of humidity and temperature give the wine its character. After more than 15 years of ageing in American oak, the wine acquires a powerful structure, an aromatic depth that is impossible to imitate. It is bottled as is, without sweeteners, without make-up, offering a pure and complex expression of what an Oloroso with the "Pata de Gallina" character should be.
Taste
In the glass, Lustau Oloroso Pata de Gallina Juan García Jarana has a dark amber colour with coppery glints. On the nose, it opens slowly like a shutter of old aromas: toasted walnut, bitter orange peel, tobacco, date and old wood. There are echoes of tanned leather, noble varnish and a background of sweet spices - clove, cinnamon, cardamom - which add warmth. The palate is round, dry and glyceric at the same time, with an enveloping texture that caresses the palate without being cloying. Notes of burnt caramel, hazelnuts, prunes, salted toffee and a very fine balsamic background. The acidity is low but precise, helping to sustain the alcoholic power without losing elegance. The finish is very long, with hints of bitter cocoa, dry wood and a saline touch that invites further exploration. Lustau Oloroso Pata de Gallina Juan García Jarana is a wine that demands attention, respect and food: ideal with cheeks, cured cheeses, mushrooms, or simply to meditate.
