Barbadillo Manzanilla Dry Sherry Wine, 75 cl

Product Information

It is also paired harmoniously with shellfish such as prawns, kind prawns and lobster, and salads and anchovies in vinegar are excellent accompaniments to Manzanilla due to their low acidity and freshness. The specific climatic conditions of Sanlúcar are responsible for a higher humidity and cooler, more constant temperatures than those found in inland bodegas, which contribute to a higher yield of flor all year round. Examples are port, which is generally rich and sweet, as well as sweet vermouth, which is red rather than white.

Prolonged contact with the flor - the layer of yeast which grows on the surface of the wine and is responsible for Manzanilla's unique character - gives delicate aromas reminiscent of salty air and chamomile. Intense nutty flavours with hints of apple and herbs and that saline tang that explodes on the tongue. It has lots of caramel and creme brulee on both the nose and the palate, and a lingering, smooth finish.

Consequently, an Amontillado sherry will take on the flavours produced by the flor as well as contact with the air.

Manzanilla is the most delicate of sherry styles, but don’t be deceived – it is so often a perfect match for bold flavours that defeat other wines. PALO CORTADO: This is a strange, beautiful and less common style of Sherry that occurs in certain circumstances when flor yeast dies unexpectedly and the wine begins to take on oxygen.True to tradition this sherry is made using time-old methods, spending up to nine years in the cask before it reaches the bottle. Despite the misleading name, cream sherries don’t contain any dairy products but are a blend of naturally sweet sherries and the varieties listed above. As an Amontillado, this sherry was not kept under a protective layer of yeast the entire time it was aged. The primacy of the manzanilla is due to the belief that chamomile, lighter and less dry, is less intoxicating. It got a gold medal by the IWC in 2016 and also a gold medal for the “Sommelier wine awards” in 2017.

These age, for as few as two or as many as ten years, under a layer of flor and when bottled are meant to be consumed right away. Usually oxidized wine is considered faulty, but when left for five to twenty-five years, the wine in a Sherry solera will develop into a full-bodied, dark and expressive substance that begs to be enjoyed with braised beef, bitter chocolate, and bleu cheese. This elite liquor is one of the oldest in the world and is made from Palomino grapes with a dash of distilled alcohol to increase its alcohol concentration. You can also substitute a dry white wine like sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio, pinot blanc, or sémillon. It is distinguished by its aroma and flavor of green apple, almonds, and salinity, making it an excellent pairing with fish, seafood, and Iberian ham.

And sherry became, of course, indelibly associated with Christmas, whether it is an affection for a glass of sweet “cream sherry” – very much a British version of the real thing – or the classic sherry trifle.
