Cota 45 is the winery of Ramiro Ibanez, whose vineyards are located at an altitude of 45m above sea-level, a height Ramiro believes offers the best 'albariza' soils for the growth of exceptional grapes. Ramiro wants to return to the traditional wines that were once produced in the Jerez region, wines that had not been fortified. He is also a member of a group that is committed documenting and resurrecting the 119 grape varieties that were once grown in the region, but were pulled up in favour of Palomino and Pedro Jimenez. This is not to say he is against the Palomino grape, as he makes wines with it that help translate the flavours of the Albariza soil to his wines. This is 100% Palomino.
From the pago El Reventón, which is 45 hectares and upstream from Paganilla and Miraflores. Ramiro finds that El Reventón is unique for its combination of high quality
albarizas and proximity to the Guadalquivir river. Aged under flor for a month and a half, then oxidatively for 6 and a half months longer.
