Production process: Once the fermentation of
the Palomino must has finished, the most delicate
of the wines are chosen and are fortified with a
wine-based distilled spirit to bring the alcohol
content up to 15% vol. the result is known as
sobretablas, and this wine is destined for ageing
in typical Jerez cask of 500 litres where it will
develop a cream or veil on the surface called flor.
Over time, this veil, formed by yeasts of the
Saccharomyces Cerevisiae genus, transforms the sobretablas into Manzanilla. The ageing
system is characterized by the various casks
in the individual wine cellars, traditionally known
in Jerez as the sacas and rocíos. The percentage
amount of wine moved to and from each barrel
and the frequency at which this takes is essential to its success.
