Equipo Navazos La Bota De Vinagre De Jerez Reserva "Botas Punta" #112

We are facing a younger brother of the very old vinegar (La Bota de Vinagre de Jerez Gran Reserva 106 “Bota NO”) that we bottled in the summer of 2021. But what a younger brother!: with an age close to 30 years, adding that of the wine from origin and aging properly as vinegar, it is obviously also very old and could more than comfortably display the Gran Reserva mark. However, we have preferred to label it simply as Reserve to mark distance between both editions. The Bota de Vinagre de Vinagre Reserva 112 "Botas Punta" is made with wine that was initially almost 15 years old, to which another fifteen years must be added, during which the alcohol has gradually become acetic. gradual. Its degree of acetic acid is above 10, only surpassed among the vinegars available on the market by its predecessor and older brother, and it also maintains some degrees of alcohol. For this release we have selected some top butts from the solera immediately prior to the single butt that we bottled as No. 106. A little over a hundred liters have been extracted from each of them. Compared to the seven or eight degrees of acetic acid that the oldest and noblest vinegars on the market usually have, here we are above ten. Again, it does not reach the tremendous concentration of the Boot 106, but it is still a brown beast, with the obvious advantage of a more friendly price. An exceptional vinegar that we recommend stocking up for intensive use at home and to give to gourmet friends. Vinegars like this are often used to give character to younger ones, but it has been bottled as is, without watering it down at all. Very dry, of course, as is typical of true Sherry vinegar. Ideal for perfuming dishes with just a few drops, a small amount will usually suffice as a dressing. Another interesting option can be to prepare a mixture of sherry (it can be very old, but also a young amontillado, or even a fino) and this vinegar in a small jar; for example, 1/4 of the first and 3/4 of the second. Or it can be used less sparingly: a marinade prepared entirely with this vinegar will be the best. Only 267 cases produced
