Pale straw with golden tints, legs.
Nose
Quite refined, but very manzanilla, not quite so salty and bitter, but some brine and green almond and definite maritime yeasty aromas, no autolysis so fairly young and very clean.
Palate
Fresh and tasty. Slightly salty and a lttle more bitter than nose, not a lot of acidity but has a definite coastal tang, it has a little more weight, depth and complexity than was expected from the nose, and good length.
Comments
This is one of a range of Spanish wines called Los Pecadillos (The Sins) which are imported and distributed by the Alliance Wine Co. in Scotland. The wines are from various different DOs: Gluttony is a PX from Montilla; Sloth is a rose from Campo de Borja; Envy is a white Rueda; Lust is a red Navarra; Pride is a Red Rioja; Avarice is a white La Mancha; and Wrath (Furia) is the representative of the marco de Jerez. One presumes this wine is bought in by Gutierrez Colosia, as they have no installations in Sanlucar, but it is good nonetheless.
Price
About £10.00 (50cl.) from Henderson Wines in Edinburgh.
