Manzanilla Barbiana 15%, Delgado Zuleta

Appearance
Pale strawy gold, slight trace green, very light legs.
Nose
Attractive coastal nose full of sea breezes, soft, plump and yeasty, if not over saline, but a hint of green almond bitterness lifts it. Fresh and zippy.
Palate
Fuller, quite solid, lots of flor, tangy, hints of green almond, yeasty, complex and quite subtle, growing on you all the time, a real Sanluquena!
Comments
The label bears the interesting legend "Procedente de las criaderas de Barbiana", B Rodriguez La-Cave. The wine is aged 3-4 years and tastes jolly good for its youth -it has character. presumably the soleras came from Rodriguez La-Cave when DZ bought the company.


Price
6 Euros in Jerez
