"I THINK" MANZANILLA

Equipo Navazos 2012 release

Origin Spain, Sherry
ABV 15%

An ultra-fine Manzanilla that's beautifully lifted in aroma. Fresh, with a salty tang, plenty of energy and zippiness together with a very satisfying lemon twist to the finish. Marcona almonds at the ready, there can be no better thirst-quenching aperitif this summer. Rating: 90 The Wine Gang - www.thewinegang.com (Jul 2013)

Saca (bottled) October 2010. Deeper tawny and more pungent and more interesting than the 2012 bottling. Salty. Bring on the salted almonds! 15% Rating: 17 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Dec 2012)

I THINK Manzanilla En Rama saca of October 2010 D.O. Manzanilla - Sanlúcar de Barrameda 15% alc. Limited release: 5,196 bottles (37,5 cl.)

"I think" Manzanilla En Rama is, besides a humble homage to Charles Darwin as a symbol of the triumph of reason, a true and untamed manzanilla. Bottled after barely the slightest filtration process, it retains the intense golden color and pungent character it exhibits straight from the butts where it ages under flor for about four and a half years. Not long ago we received the request to select a racy manzanilla that should be younger and less radical in profile than our different releases of the "La Bota de..." series—yet bottled preserving the original authenticity (color, intensity, and aromas) of the product as served straight from the butt. It came through Paul Shinnie from RHONE TO RIOJA, who decided to boost the project, in the conviction that it is about time to expand the availability of real manzanilla to a larger number of British wine lovers than the limited circle of connoisseurs who have access to our extremely scarce releases of La Bota de Manzanilla. We accepted the challenge with enthusiasm and the sincere hope that our little grain of sand will contribute to the wider knowledge (and hence appreciation) of traditional Andalusian wines—and especially the fascinating biological ageing styles—by wine lovers all over the world. This limited batch of only 5,196 3/8 bottles is ready to drink upon release. Bottled in the last days of October 2010, if properly stored (in conditions no more demanding, but no less either, than any quality white wine) it will mature slowly, trading part of its freshness for elegant complexity.
