WINE DESCRIPTION

Barbadillo Manzanilla Solear is a renowned wine that hails from the appellation of Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda in Spain. Produced by a respected winery, this wine is crafted from grapes grown in vineyards with unique features, such as proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the influence of the region's microclimate. The winemaking process involves a traditional solera system, where the wine is aged under a layer of yeast called "flor." This results in a distinct style characterized by its pale color, delicate aroma of chamomile and almonds, and a crisp, dry taste with a refreshing saline finish. Barbadillo Manzanilla Solear is a perfect choice for those seeking a high-quality, authentic Spanish wine experience.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Barbadillo Manzanilla Solear is a delightful and refreshing wine that hails from the Manzanilla region of Spain.This wine is made from the Palomino grape variety and is known for its pale straw color and crisp, dry taste. On the nose, Barbadillo Manzanilla Solear offers enticing aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and a hint of sea breeze. These aromas transport you to the coastal vineyards where the grapes are grown, creating a sense of place in every sip. The palate of this wine is equally impressive, with flavors of briny olives, tangy citrus, and a touch of almond. The acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing and invigorating sensation on the palate. The finish is long and clean, leaving you with a lingering taste of sea salt and a desire for another sip. Barbadillo Manzanilla Solear is best enjoyed chilled and pairs wonderfully with a variety of seafood dishes. Its crisp acidity and saline notes make it a perfect match for oysters, grilled shrimp, or ceviche. It also complements light salads and fresh cheeses beautifully.
