Utterly unique. Using the process traditionally used to create fino, this wine is kept for 8 months beneath a veil of flor (a light covering of yeast) in wooden barrels. Fresh, saline and minerality combined with citrus, green apple and toasted bread. Really, bloody
good.

Tangy, zesty flavours of green apple and citrus followed with the classic yeasty, bready and saline notes of Manzanilla. Enjoy it as a refreshing aperitif on a hot day, or as the locals do along side some mixed tapas such as prawns, jamon, garlic clams and padron peppers.

Country: Spain

Region: Jerez

ABV: 15%

Grapes: Palomino Fino

Manzanilla is a style of Fino sherry originating from the port of Sanlúcar de Barrameda where the close proximitiy to the sea and the high humidity contribute to a stronger growth of flor. Made from 100% Palomino, this Manzanillia spent 8 years going through the criaderas and solera system under flor. A lovely pale straw colour, this wine has a pronounced nose of almonds with hints of white peach and distinctive aromas of flor. The palate is light and dry with salty, nutty flavours which are perfectly balanced by a restrained citrus acidity and a pleasant bitterness that lingers on the finish.
