Made from Palomino Fino grapes grown on chalky 'albariza' soils characteristic of Jerez, the grapes are pressed and fermented in stainless steel before fortification. The wine is biologically-aged under flor yeast in American oak barrels within a traditional solera system. The wine is around 5 years old on average, as soleras do not produce wines of a singular age due to continuous fractional blending over many years. Straw coloured, with notes of stone fruit on the nose, followed by saline driven citrus and nuttiness on the palate. Enjoy in classic and modern cocktails such as the Bamboo, Trident, Remember the Alimony, Rebujito, or Lifetime Ban. Try swapping half the amount of vermouth for sherry in classic recipes for an added layer of complexity.

15% ABV. From the stellar Equipo Navazos stable, this Manzanilla comes from a 60-strong cask selection made by Navazos founders Jesus Barquín and Eduardo Ojeda that was plucked from the production of La Guita, one of the most famous (and finest) Manzanilla producers (and where Ojeda oversees production in his role as the technical director of José Estévez). As always, this current bottling was drawn from its barrels en rama (directly). This is how Manzanilla used to be bottled before sterile filtering became the standard in Jerez. The current batch was bottled in March 2024. It’s a wonderfully potent and briny yet seductive wine with a deep, silky texture and plenty of sustained, tangy drive. Four and a half years under flor and gentle bottling direct from cask has also delivered a vibrant orange/gold colour and some nutty development. It’s a much deeper colour than most other Manzanillas on the market (which are typically very clear due to their youth and sterile filtration). That makes this unique in comparison to other Manzanillas in its price range. It remains light years ahead of more common, conventional Manzanillas.
