Why is Sherry meant for biological aging typically located in botas lower in a bodega?

A

Due to the more Flor-friendly 1) cooler temperature as heat rises and the 2) more humid air, Sherry meant for biological aging is typically aged lower to the ground whereas Olorso sherries are aged higher as Flor is not vital to the aging process of these sherries.

Q

Specific soil type of Petrus

A

Smectite Clay: dense clay soil (The soil at Pétrus is predominantly clay, but incorporated into the clay is smectite, a volcanic mineral, that dramatically changes the soil’s physical and chemical properties. Conditions within damp smectite clays are so anaerobic that new roots struggle to grow, while old roots die. Consequently, the vines struggle to extract water from the soil despite the fact the clay feels wet to the touch. The expansion is so dramatic that after 10mm of rain, the soil self-seals at its surface, so in wet years like 1967, the vines can still be subjected to beneficial levels of water stress. Conversely in dry years, smectite clays shrink, and crack, encouraging water and root penetration, which in turn, maintain a restricted but valuable flow of nutrients and water to the vine,’ (John Atkinson MW, 12/2012).
