Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Equipo Navazos?
- Founded in 2005 by Jesús Barquín and Eduardo Ojeda, Equipo Navazos is an independent Sherry-bottling project that seeks out exceptional, forgotten casks of aged Sherry from top bodegas in Jerez, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, El Puerto de Santa María, and Montilla-Moriles, bottling them with minimal intervention under the numbered 'La Bota' series.
- What does 'La Bota de...' mean on the label?
- 'La Bota' is Spanish for 'the cask.' It marks a single-cask or small-lot bottling, numbered consecutively, with the source bodega, saca (withdrawal) date, and bottle yield printed on the label so collectors can track and compare releases.
- What styles of wine does Equipo Navazos produce?
- Their range spans nearly every Sherry style — Fino, Manzanilla, Amontillado, Palo Cortado, Oloroso, and Pedro Ximénez — plus unfortified 'Vino de Pasto' wines and sparkling collaborations such as Navazos-Niepoort.
- Is Equipo Navazos a traditional winery?
- No. It began as a small group of friends bottling casks for personal enjoyment and grew into a respected négociant that owns no vineyards or bodegas. It champions 'en rama' (minimally filtered) bottling and radical transparency about each wine's origin.
- What food pairs well with Equipo Navazos wines?
- Their bone-dry Fino and Manzanilla styles pair beautifully with Spanish tapas, cured ham, olives, and briny seafood such as anchovies and mussels, while richer Oloroso and Palo Cortado styles suit aged cheese and charcuterie.
