BASIC DATA Area or Designation of Origin: D.O. Manzanilla Sanlúcar de Barrameda Type of wine: Manzanilla Grape variety: Palomino Fina 100% TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Alcohol Content: 15.0% vol. Total acidity: 4.0 ± 0.5 g/l tartaric acid pH: 3.3± 0.1 Sulphurous total: Less than 50 mg/l Allergens: Sulphites VINEYARDS AND HARVEST Vineyard: Gibalbin and Santa Lucía vineyards in Jerez Superior Number of hectares: 500 hectares Vineyard age: 30 years old Yield: 9.500 kgs/hectare Pruning: Double cordon Harvest style: Manual in bulk Start date: Usually midway through August PRODUCTION AND AGEING Type of ageing: Biological Ageing System: Solera (A dynamic system allowing the fractional blending of younger wines in to older wines.) Ageing period: 8 years Location of cellars: Sanlúcar de Barrameda Ageing cellars: 550 casks in two classes, in El Potro cellar. The second class is refilled with Solear which already has 6 years of ageing. For each ‘saca’ (extraction from the cask for bottling) we choose 15 casks to bottle 1500 liters. Type of cask: Butt (500 L) American oak Bottling date: 24/06/2019 Production Process: Once the fermentation of the Palomino must has finished, the most delicate of the wines are chosen and are fortified to bring the alcohol content up to 15% vol. The result is known as ‘sobretablas’, and this wine is destined for ageing in cask where it will develop a veil of yeast on the wine’s surface called the flor. Over time, the flor, formed by yeasts of the Saccharomyces Cerevisiae genus, transform the young wine into Manzanilla. This Manzanilla is bottled four times a year, one for each of the different seasons. The different weather conditions of each season affect the growth of the flor and thus the flavour of the Manzanilla can vary depending on the time of year. Clarification is carried out in the traditional way using egg white, and takes place whilst the wine is in the cask. The Hen harrier The Hen harrier (Circus cyaneus) is a medium sized bird of prey which flies low over grassland, marshland and other open country with the wings held in a shallow V shape. This is one of the few raptorial birds that practice polygamy. TASTING NOTE This Manzanilla has been selected from our older soleras and bottled "En Rama", meaning directly from the cask. Manzanilla with great intensity and character, due to the low rainfall and mild temperatures in Spring which gives more complexity to the biological ageing. SERVING SUGGESTIONS With its golden yellow colour and its light, fragrant aromas, this pleasantly dry Manzanilla is the perfect accompaniment to tapas, appetizers and a range of starters such us Spanish cured ham, artichokes, asparagus, cold and hot soups, shellfish, salmon and herrings. Its unique flavour makes it the perfect accompaniment to a range of of other foods such as nuts, cod soufflés, melon with cured ham and mild cheeses. Particularly good with caviar or anchovies as the Manzanilla imparts fresh and delicate flavours to counteract their saltiness. FORMAT 375 ml. bottles in boxes of 6.
