The Story
Bodegas Barbadilloâs Solear Manzanilla is a classic expression of Manzanilla, a unique style of Sherry made in the coastal town of SanlĂșcar de Barrameda. Aged under a layer of flor (a natural yeast that forms during aging), this Sherry is light, refreshing, and characterized by its distinctive saline and mineral qualities.
The nose is fresh and fragrant, with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and a touch of brine that immediately evoke the sea. On the palate, Solear Manzanilla is crisp and dry, with a clean, zesty acidity that is balanced by the subtle, delicate flavors of almonds and a hint of florality. The finish is long and mineral-driven, with a refreshing salinity that lingers, making it an excellent companion to seafood, tapas, or light appetizers.
Whether enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with dishes like oysters, shrimp, or marinated olives, Solear Manzanilla is a versatile and food-friendly Sherry that embodies the essence of SanlĂșcar de Barrameda.
