Sainsbury's Manzanilla Superior 15%

Appearance
Pale golden straw, legs.
Nose
Quite light, traces Marmite, bread, olive brine, quite yeasty but not very salty or particularly zippy.
Palate
Similar, with that touch of Marmite spread thinly on bread, brine quite tangy, clean with a rather savoury finish.
Comments
The wine is made by Emilio Lustau, and according to the back label is at least 4 years old. I was a little surprised to note that it had won an IWSC (International Wine & Spirit Competition) gold as best in class in 2010.
Price
About £6,99
