About this product +

Producer >

Bodegas Barbadillo was founded in 1821 in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. For two hundred years the family has been devoted to making quality wine with respect for tradition and a passion for innovation. This enduring commitment has earned Barbadillo its place as the foremost specialist in all sherry styles. With their origins in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, we are excited to introduce their range of exceptional Manzanillas. Their innovative approach is the future of this region, evolving and creating new styles to suit every palate. In their seventh generation of wine production the family are still looking at the future.

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.
