Manzanilla Sherry

Manzanilla sherry can only be made in the seaside town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda. It’s made from the palomino grape which is fortified to 15% ABV (in most cases though as from 2021 unfortified wines with a natural alcohol of 15% are now classified as sherry) and then aged under a layer of yeast known as flor. This keeps the oxygen away from the wine preserving the pale colour and delicate flavours of apple, almonds, and salt. Manzanilla sherry is aged in a solera system and is always dry.
