INFORMATION ABOUT THE WINES
Setback
Cellar: 4OJOSWINES Place: El Puerto de Santa María Variety: 100% Moscatel de Alejandría Graduation: 13.5% vol.
Contratiempo is born from vineyards in the Pago de Balbaína, with albariza soils located in El Puerto de Santa María. A young white wine made from 100% Moscatel de Alejandría grapes. It is slowly fermented until the total exhaustion of its sugars and remains at rest in a stainless steel tank for a natural stabilization of the wine. No type of clarifying agent has been used.
With an alcohol content of 13.5° we find a young, fresh wine, in which the presence of the Albariza soil stands out. On the nose we find subtle notes of flowers, cantaloupe melon, lychee, apricot... On the palate it presents a smooth entry, with an acidity that joins a bitter sigh to give it a little more length in its passage through the mouth. Salinity and minerality appear contributed by the land of Albariza. The passage of time in the glass favors the appearance of notes that remind us even more of the variety, such as jasmine and honey notes.
We recommend a service temperature around
4-6°C.
It goes very well with roasted white meats, vegetables, white fish, blue fish, shellfish, cold and warm salads. Dishes with quite noticeable notes of acidity, but above all it goes perfectly with a good company

Al Liquindoi
Cellar: 4OJOSWINES Place: El Puerto de Santa María Variety: Syrah and Merlot Graduation: 14.7% vol. Vintage: 2019
In the Cadiz town of San José del Valle we find the vineyard with the highest altitude in the province and one of the most beautiful. This is where the grapes with which we make this young red wine come from.
It responds to a classic vinification of reds proceeding to a coupage of both varieties. No type of clarifying agent or filtration has been used.
With an alcohol content of 14.7º, we find a young red, fresh, with acidity and in which the presence of the Albariza soil stands out.
On the nose we find black olives, pickles, balsamic notes and a background of very ripe red fruit.
In the mouth it presents a very soft and delicate entry, with a very marked minerality.
It goes very well with fish, Asian cuisine and dishes where spicy notes stand out.

Type of Wine: Natural Sweet.
Grape variety: Pedro Ximénez.
Denomination of Origin: Jerez-Xérèz-Sherry.
Average age: 4 years
Pedro Ximénez wine is obtained from the grape of the same name, which is subjected to the traditional “soleo” process, until the fruit is intensely dried. After pressing, musts are obtained that have an extraordinary concentration of sugars and a certain level of coloration, which is subjected to partial alcoholic fermentation, stopped in its case by the addition of wine alcohol.
Its upbringing, exclusively oxidative in nature, favors a progressive aromatic concentration and increasing complexity, while always trying not to lose the freshness and fruity character typical of the variety.
More or less intense ebony colored wine with iodized iridescence, with very wide tears and a visual sensation of great density. On the nose it offers extremely rich aromas, with a predominance of sweet notes of dried fruit such as raisins, figs and dates, accompanied by aromas of honey, syrup and fruit compote and candied, accentuating the toasted tones (coffee, dark chocolate and cocoa) and liquorice. On the palate it is velvety and unctuous, with an acidity that mitigates the extreme sweetness and warmth of the alcohol, and a very long and tasty finish.
Pairing: Blue Cheeses (Cabrales, Gorgonzola, Stilton, Roquefort) Desserts and Ice Creams (Cheesecake, Nougat and Vanilla Ice Creams and Dark Chocolate) Panacotta, Mascarpone Ice Cream, Coffee Cream and Mexican Chili.
