Manzanilla
Sanlúcar de Barrameda's unique position at the Atlantic mouth of the Guadalquivir created a microclimate different from inland Jerez. The thicker flor maintained by Atlantic humidity produces a wine that literally tastes of its geography. The 'Manzanilla with seafood' pairing is a national institution in Sanlúcar — the wine's salinity and delicacy make it the perfect partner for Atlantic seafood.
Flavor Profile
Even lighter, more saline than Fino. Sea breeze, camomile, oyster shell, pale straw color. Where Fino tastes of almonds and bread dough, Manzanilla tastes of the ocean. Bone-dry, delicate, with a distinctive maritime salinity.
