Bright, clean, pale strawy gold, legs.
Nose
Quite full, lots of flor salinity and seaside aromas, trace yeast autolysis, has an impact yet quite delicate, trace bread and overall yeasty, zesty and quite complex. This is what flor smells like.
Palate
Similar, salty yeasty and dry with a gentle Palomino fruit, quite low acidity yet tangy, fresh, yeasty and zippy but with a more serious side. Doesn't half stimulate the appetite, and has very good length.
Comments
Classic no holds barred Manzanilla. Aged for over 5 years near the sea with healthy flor. Real character. It comes from a small, very old solera established at the same time as the firm itself in 1822. The solera butts number 71. Winner of the Iberwine 2009 "Best Spanish Wine" and many other accolades.
Price
£12.25 Available at Drinkmonger Edinburgh, UK importers Eaux de Vie.
