2019 DELICIOSA MANZANILLA En Rama Valdespino, Lea & Sandeman

DELICIOSA MANZANILLA

2019 En Rama Valdespino

Origin Spain, Sherry
ABV 15%

This comes from the Miraflores vineyard. And the barrels have spent an average of seven years in the bodega. A very light filtration takes out any solid matter but this is not fined nor stabilised. Bottled in May 2018. This is slightly darker and more intense than the Tio Pepe and a tad firmer than the La Gitana. Super-charged and full of yeasty umami character and an uncanny salty marine tang - the Manzanilla essence is deep here. Long, savoury and very satisfying and once again intensely mouth-watering. Drink bone chilled from a decent sized glass, with almonds, a plate of Iberico ham or patatas bravas. Sensational. L&S (Sept 2019)

Valdespino

Bodega Valdespino is one of the oldest bodegas in Jérez, originating in 1264, when King Alfonso X gave Don Alfonso Valdespino the gift of land in the City of Jérez. He was one of 24 Christian knights who fought to regain the City of Jérez from the Moors. The company of today was formed in 1875, but commercial activities are thought to date as far back as 1430. In 1999, Valdespino was bought by Grupo Estévez who were able to fund and maintain the traditional methods for which Valdespino is famous. Valdespino Sherries remain among the very best quality available, and Inocente is still the best Fino in the market, as well as being the only Sherry to be produced from the grapes of a single vineyard. Subtle changes to some of the other wines appear to have been for the best. Tío Diego Amontillado is now a little softer in style making it even more appealing and Don Gonzalo has been re-released in the VS range of older Solera wines.
