Manzanilla de Sanlúcar de Barrameda

Jerez DO

Espagne - Andalousie

This wine has the same main characteristics as the fino but is obtained from a significantly different terroir and maturing environment. Manzanilla is a jerez, aged in the bodegas of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, a small town on the Guadalquivir estuary. It is often said that the iodine-rich sea air infuses the wines while they are in barrel, giving them a saline quality that is distinct from the classic finos made in Jerez de la Frontera.

The very special microclimate of the winery, located at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River, favours the development of a flora with very particular organoleptic characteristics. This biological ageing continues for a period of three to four years and is carried out in American oak barrels according to the traditional system of "criaderas" and "solera".
