A cornerstone of Sanlúcar since 1821, Barbadillo spans the breadth of Cádiz wine culture. The house is synonymous with Manzanilla and Atlantic-influenced wines shaped by albariza soils and sea air.
We're excited to introduce their range of exceptional Manzanillas from Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
Viticulture >
Description Process: Once the fermentation of the Palomino
must has finished, the most robust wines are selected and
fortified with wine-based distilled spirit to bring the alcohol
content up to 18%. This fortified wine is know as sobretablas
and is destined for ageing in traditional Jerez botas, usually of
500 litre capacity. This ageing or crianza is achieved through
oxidation of the wine whilst in barrel and racking within each
tier of the criadera. This traditional system is characterised by
the carefully orchestrated movement of wine between the
Soleras and Criaderas within the different cellars. With this
particular wine, the ageing process lasts for a period of 12 years.
Once the wine is finally taken from the solera, it is carefully
blended with PX that has itself been matured in the same
system of Soleras and criaderas, in order to achieve the
required sweetness of a sweet oloroso.
