Production

Diatomists crafts its Fino by harvesting 100% Palomino grapes from the chalky albariza (specifically tosca de lentejuelas diatom-rich fossil soils) in the Balbaína pago of Jerez. After base wine fermentation, the wine is fortified to 15% ABV and aged biologically under a protective veil of flor yeast in American oak casks, emphasizing single-vineyard terroir.

Vineyard

Diatomist is a modern wine project in Jerez, Spain, that emphasizes single-pago (terroir) expression over traditional multi-solera blending. Their Fino is crafted from Palomino grapes grown in the prestigious Pago Balbaína vineyard (Vinyes de las Ánimas), sitting on fossilized diatom-rich albariza soil.
