The Solear en rama Saca
de Invierno 2015 completes the four seasonal sacas for for the year. The oenologist, Montse
Molina, says “This saca is splendid, radiant and luminous. On the nose it has a
great variety of nuances of yeast, biological ageing, bodega, nuts, finesse and
elegance. On the palate it is powerful yet charming with a long and persistent
finish. It is one of the most expressive of all the sacas of this historic
series.” The butts from which the selection is made are in the bodega El Potro
and form part of the intermediate soleras between Solear and Amontillado Príncipe
in other words the oldest butts of Manzanilla.
On Christmas Day
Flamenco lost one of its greats: the “cantaor” or singer Manuel de los Santos Pastor “Agujetas”. Born
in Rota in 1939, into a great Flamenco dynasty, he epitomised the “cante jondo”
or deep song in the Jerez style, and was regarded as the “last Mohican” of it.
His style was raw and unrestrained yet pure and left nobody unmoved. He will be sadly missed. DEP
Agujetas.
