Socaire is a wine of the Vino de la Tierra de Cadiz category, unfortified white wines obtained from Palomino Fino on albariza soils (subtype Tajón) within the sherry area. Primitivo Collantes in 2013 was one of the first to explore the dark zone among organically aged white wines, sobretablas and sherry. Thanks to these experiments, a movement was born that also took its name from this wine: Socairism or Sherry Revolution. The Socaire is naturally fermented and aged for about 24 months in barrels which are kept full, where therefore there is no development of the "flor". Primitivo, however, has decided to use ex-Fino barrels in order to obtain a veil of flor, which gives subtle oxidation characteristics unique to this still and dry wine. The vineyards are located in the Finca Matalián (19.5 ha) about 8 km from the bay of Cadiz, with an altitude of about 100 meters above sea level. This area was once home to some famous vineyards and plantations, but only a few have survived, with only two winemakers remaining in Chiclana. Socaire means downwind, a place sheltered from the wind, which refers to the orientation and position of the vineyard behind a natural barrier.

Three Senses
Socaire is truly a wine that marks an era. Whatever its placement, on the table or as an aperitif, outside meals or simply for a snack, it will amaze diners. The smell compartment awakens the most dormant memories, as it feels like being at the sea in winter. The iodine and sea breeze are accompanied by a faint note of dried fruits and oriental spices. Once tasted, the most surprising sensation is that of salt that has been absorbed by the centuries-old vines and transmitted to the palate through the wine. An incredible drink that does not need to be interpreted. It takes its own space.
