-
FARMING: Sustainable practices
-
VARIETY: 100% Palomino
-
TERROIR: Sourced from vineyards in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, characterized by Albariza soils—chalky, limestone-rich terrains ideal for Sherry production. The proximity to the Atlantic Ocean imparts a distinctive saline quality to the wine.*
-
VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested Palomino grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks. The base wine is fortified to approximately 15% alcohol and undergoes biological aging under a layer of flor yeast. This process occurs in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, where cooler temperatures and high humidity contribute to the development of a thicker flor, resulting in a fresher, more delicate flavor profile.
-
AGING: Aged in a traditional solera system for an average of three to five years, allowing for consistent quality and complexity.
-
TASTING NOTES: Pale straw in color, this Manzanilla En Rama offers aromas of dried apples, lemon blossom, almonds, and a hint of seaweed. The palate is full-bodied yet focused, with lively acidity and a crisp, refreshing finish.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with tapas such as olives, almonds, and jamón ibérico; pairs well with seafood dishes like grilled shrimp, oysters, and fried calamari.
