Manzanilla is a dry sherry variety made from Palomino grapes in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. This light and refreshing wine is aged naturally, under a thick layer of yeast (flor). It is straw-colored with aromas of almonds, yeast, and chamomile.
Since Sanlúcar de Barrameda is a coastal town, during aging, Manzanilla also attains a characteristic salty note, unlike its close relative Fino. It should always be served chilled, and it pairs exceptionally well with seafood, salads, and cold soups.
