WINE DESCRIPTION
Bodegas Yuste's "La Kika" Manzanilla Sherry stands as a testament to the rich heritage of Andalusian winemaking. Crafted by the renowned Bodegas Yuste, a producer deeply rooted in the traditions of the Jerez region, this sherry is a reflection of both history and artistry. The wine originates from the sun-drenched vineyards of the Sanlúcar de Barrameda appellation, where the unique 'albariza' soils, rich in chalk, lend a distinctive minerality to the grapes. Meticulous winemaking techniques are employed, including aging under a layer of 'flor' yeast, which imparts La Kika's characteristic complexity and depth. The wine is an epitome of the Manzanilla style, known for its delicate, yet nuanced flavors, capturing the essence of its coastal terroir.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, it exudes vibrant aromas of fresh green apples, intertwined with subtle hints of almond and sea breeze.The palate is greeted with a delicate balance of salinity and crisp acidity, weaving through flavors of dried fruits and toasted nuts. The texture is feather-light, yet the depth is profound, leading to a long, lingering finish that echoes with notes of chamomile and salted caramel.
