Winemaker and winery: Bodegas Williams & Humbert SAU .
Grape variety: Palomino.
Region: Jerez-Xérès-Sherry: Jerez Superior.
Viticulture/Vinification: Prime grape must is used. After controlled fermentation of the must the wine is transferred to the “criadera and solera” system where it is biologically aged under a veil of yeast (‘flor’) in 500 L. American white oak butts for an average of 3 years. This ageing takes place in Sanlúcar de Barrameda as the microclimate of the area is what lends Manzanilla its special aromatic characteristics which differentiate it slightly from Fino.

Very fresh and fruity nose. Like a spring day. Light, fresh and invigorating. Bloody marvellous.
