Limited stock. En Rama signifies a Manzanilla that has been bottled almost directly from the barrel, without undergoing the usual processes to prepare a wine for bottling such as filtering & fining. The idea is to taste the Manzanilla almost as if you had visited the Bodega in Spain & dipped your glass into the barrel. Bracing, complex & aromatic. A savoury saltiness on the nose leads to a fresh, & tangy palate of hazelnut, dried apple & hints of meaty umami flavours. Citrus pith on the finish gives this wine an overall freshness. Characterful, full bodied & round. A fine, fresh nose reminiscent of the solera ageing
- toasty & ripe with dried fruits
- & all the salinity of the Sanlucar marshlands. A good, balanced palate, soft, dry & smooth with an ample, long finish. 97/100
- La Guia Proensa, Spain. 15% alcohol. Very bracing & aromatic with some salty, nutty savoury characters leading to a tangy palate with fresh, intense, nutty, savoury notes. There are complex flavours of hazelnut, citrus pith & a salty tanginess here. A really impressive, bracing expression of sherry that's highly food compatible. 9/100 Jamie Goode.

Limited stock. La Manzanilla is a dry wine & the lightest & most delicate member of the Sherry region & can only be made in the coastal town of Sanlacar de Barrameda set at the mouth of the River Guadalquivir. The position of the town, set between the sea & the river & the marshlands to the north, combines with the particular topography of the town itself to create an especially humid & constant microclimate. These conditions allow a special growth of yeast, known as the 'flor', to grow on the surface of the maturing wine all your round thus protecting it from the detrimental effects of oxygen. Elsewhere in the Sherry district, the flor dies off in the summer & winter months to form the Fino sherry instead. Due to the uniqueness of this wine Manzanilla has its own ' Denominacion de Origen' Manzanilla -Sanlacar de Barrameda, set within the Sherry Denomination. Hidalgo's Manzanilla is sold under the name of 'la Gitana' & carries a label depicting the 'gitana' (gypsy girl) which was originally painted for the firm by Joaquan Turina, father of the famous composer of the same name. Today, ' La Gitana' is the most popular Manzanilla on the Spanish market & is now the best selling wine in Seville. This is the classic example of this unique wine & the flagship of their company. Its fresh & delicate taste has made it the favourite of Seville, the heart of traditional Andalucia where they drink it chilled, with a meal or with tapas or simply as a delicious wine. ...
