WINE DESCRIPTION

Barbadillo Manzanilla is a renowned wine produced in the coastal region Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Spain. This wine is made from Palomino grapes grown in the unique vineyards of the Jerez-Xérès-Sherry appellation. The vineyards benefit from the region's maritime influence, with cool ocean breezes and a chalky soil composition. The winemaking process involves a traditional solera system, where the wine is aged in oak barrels, resulting in a pale, straw-colored wine with a delicate and crisp character. Barbadillo Manzanilla is known for its distinct saline notes, vibrant acidity, and a refreshing, dry style that pairs perfectly with seafood and tapas.
