Hijos de Rainera Perez Marin La Guita Manzanilla NV

Sherry Jerez - Manzanilla, SpainManzanilla's delicacy is evident here, the result of the wine's proximity to the sea. The constant humidity and temperature afforded by the marine environment means that flor can thrive year round, so the wine is more protected (thus more delicate) than in-land fino. Pretty and finessed, with fine crystalline citrus, delicate white floral and a whisper of fine sea salt through the bone dry finish. Ideal with sardines on toast, jamon, and herb brined olives. I only wish this was half sized; its delicacy means it doesn't have a lengthy shelf life and unless I plan on opening it with a few, it won't last long enough for me to fully enjoy it.Tasted: 23 September 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
