History
Inocente is fermented and aged from a single named vineyard (Macharnudo Alto) without blending with other pagos, a rare practice in Sherry production. The Macharnudo Alto plot provides Palomino grapes from albariza soils at high elevation within the Jerez Superior zone. The solera was established in the late 19th century and Inocente is also distinguished by primary fermentation in wooden oak vessels rather than stainless steel.
