History
Equipo Navazos was founded in 2005 by Jesús Barquín and Eduardo Ojeda as a consortium of enthusiasts buying and bottling single barrels from exceptional soleras across the Jerez and Sanlúcar bodegas. Each La Bota bottling is numbered (La Bota #1, #2, etc.) and released in limited quantities directly from the cask without fining or filtration. Each number represents a unique single-barrel saca from a different solera.
