"Vintage" sherries are static ageing wines and are rare within the DO of Jerez. For this reason, wines of outstanding quality can be considered one-of-a-kind and are highly sought after. The 2016 release is only the second vintage of this wine. For the 2016 vintage, Valdespino set aside 30 casks which were sealed to comply with the requirements of the DO regulatory council for vintage classification. In October of 2023, the winemaking team assessed the 30 casks and selected 12 which showed exceptional characteristics to make the final blend for bottling. That bottling took place in April of 2024 and was done "en rama" - meaning it was bottled without fining or filtering.

Pago de Miraflores is the 'grand cru' of Sanlucar de Barrameda. Pago Miraflores is the most important "hill" of the zone and is responsible for the top Manzanillas. The location is inland enough to have pure albariza (chalk-based soils) and high enough to still get the cool winds from the ocean along with a touch of salt in the air. Top producers of the zone make Manzanillas, Vinos de Pasto and still whites from this top Pago.
