Tasting note
A Manzanilla that has been aged for 9-10 years (typically 5-6 years). This results in a dry Sherry which retains Manzanilla's hallmark freshness, and yet has significantly greater richness, concentration and complexity. Pale golden colour and intense aromas of chamomile, blanched almond, cider apple and salted cararamel notes. Absolutely awesome!
In the press
The NV Manzanilla Velo Flor, presented in a Clavelin look-alike bottle, is filled with a wine that has clearly spent a long time under flor and is quite expressive, aromatic and powerful. It has Manzanilla character. This is a purchased wine as they still don't produce their own wines, even though the idea is to do so and even to acquire vineyards in the future. It has a pungent nose and a very saline palate, very balanced and persistent. A very good Manzanilla of considerable age, without any oxidative character.
The manzanilla is bottled, sealed and labelled by hand and left unfined and unfiltered. Intense aromas of sea spray, almonds and hay continue on the long, yeasty, waxy palate that has a unique note of cider apples. A pricey but complex aged Sherry.
Vinification
Made from 100% Palomino, grown in several vineyards within the Jerez Superior region, this exceptional Manzanilla is aged for 9-10 years in 600 litre old American oak casks.
