Primitivo Collantes

Primitivo Collantes continues to make wines following the tradition established by his family in the nineteenth century, when they moved to Chiclana de la Frontera. The estate owns two vineyards in the municipality, Pozo Galván (17.30 ha) and Matlián (19.53 ha), both within the DO Jerez. The soils are composed entirely of albariza, with a high capacity to absorb water during the winter months, allowing the vines to access it even during the dry summers. The climate is warm and meridional. Primitivo Collantes’ viticulture is certified organic, and fermentations occur spontaneously with native yeasts.

Like the rest of the region, Chiclana enjoys a warm Mediterranean-style climate, moderated by the Atlantic Ocean’s maritime influence. This creates ideal conditions for aging wines under a layer of flor yeast, which is essential to their wines’ distinctive character. The flor imparts a light body, aromatic complexity, clean flavours, and a subtle bitter finish.

Matalian is a dry white wine made 100% from Palomino Fino grapes sourced from the estate vineyard of the same name. Free-run must undergoes wild fermentation at controlled temperatures in stainless steel to preserve primary fruit aromas. Highly varietal in character, the wine shows notes of white and stone fruits, citrus, and mineral nuances that reflect the tension of the albariza soils. An ideal summer white, best served well chilled.
Suggested pairings: Fried fish, seafood, sushi, white meat, scrambled eggs, pizza, pasta, cured sausages, tartare, octopus, and charcuterie.
