Entusiástico is the
first ever organic Manzanilla and has now spent three years under flor in its little solera in Sanlúcar
consisting of butts previously used for Manzanilla La Goya. Both the wine and
the fortifying alcohol are certified organic and the final product is bottled
en rama. The grapes came from a one hectare plot in the Pago Burujena, owned
and worked by Pepe Cabral, one of the founder members of Mostolé, a group of growers
who produce small quantities of organic wine from their own vineyards.
According to José Federico Carvajal, commercial
director of Delgado Zuleta, the wine is developing nicely and taking on some of
the house style with more floral and yeasty notes yet retaining a certain fruitiness as well, giving it
freshness. The presentation has changed for this second saca with a new label
illustrating a girl with flowers strolling in the countryside. Only 1,200
bottles have been released, so it will be hard to obtain, especially as DZ have
received many pre-orders, but it can be purchased from the bodega and certain
restaurants and shops in the Sanlúcar area.
