Trust your Taste

Saline, yeasty and mineral notes give this Manzanilla a delicate savoury character. Very dry and crisp, it finishes with a tangy lift. Try it well chilled with seafood or as a refreshing aperitif.

How this wine feels

This feels light and sharply fresh, with almost no grip. Savoury salt-and-yeast notes lead, while ripe fruit stays very restrained. The finish is crisp and dry.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
