Valdespino Manzanilla Deliciosa en Rama 37,5 cl.

The spring 2024 bottling of the NV Manzanilla Deliciosa en Rama (marked "Saca de Primavera 2024" on the front label of my bottle) is a pale, fresh and young Manzanilla selected from their bodega in the Calle Misericordia in the Barrio Alto of Sanlúcar de Barrameda. They were looking for the essence of Pago Miraflores when they consider it at its best, during the spring, when the flor is more active. The wine has the lightness and sharpness of the coastal vineyard, showcasing saline, mineral and iodine notes, a pungent palate and persistent flavors. It has some lactic, cheesy notes, hints of esparto grass and wet chalk. This is a good compromise between youth and development at five to six years of average age. They produced 14,688 half bottles with a cork stopper. It was bottled in May 2024. This is the only yearly bottling. With time in bottle, the profile will change.

"Toasty oak, fine fruit, bready aromas; shows depth of flavour and weight on the rich, round, and flavourful long finish."
