3 natural spots in Jerez & Sherry, editor-picked by Cork & Curve. All dietary guides in Jerez & Sherry.
Bodegas Cota 45 ★ 4.9
Sanlucar de Barrameda · Sanlucar de Barrameda, 11540 Cadiz, Spain
Ramiro Ibanez produces the UBE range of unfortified Palomino wines from named albariza pagos (Carrascal, Miraflores) with indigenous yeasts, no fining, no filtration and minimal sulfite additions. The wines sit clearly within the natural wine definition while maintaining exceptional terroir specificity.
Tip: The UBE Carrascal is the single-pago expression that most clearly shows the chalk-mineral-salinity of the Carrascal albariza terroir.
Forlong ★ 4.8
El Puerto de Santa Maria · Pago del Humo, 11500 El Puerto de Santa Maria, Cadiz, Spain
Rocio Ros and Alberto Orte use indigenous yeasts, extended maceration and minimal sulfite additions. Their unfortified Palomino whites are produced with no fining agents. The CAAE-certified organic vineyard in the Pago del Humo supplies both the fortified sherry range and the unfortified still wines.
Tip: The unfortified Forlong Palomino is an interesting expression of Palomino Fino as a still dry white wine outside the solera system.
De la Riva ★ 4.9
Jerez de la Frontera · Jerez de la Frontera, 11408 Cadiz, Spain
The De la Riva project by Willy Perez and Ramiro Ibanez produces single-vineyard unfortified Palomino wines from named albariza parcels with indigenous yeast fermentation and no sulfites added at bottling. The wines are not certified but apply minimal-intervention winemaking throughout.
Tip: De la Riva Vino de Pasto is an accessible entry into the single-pago Jerez natural wine category.
