Barbadillo, NV Solear Manzanilla, Sanlucar de Barrameda ($24 per bottle, 6-pack)
$145.20 / 6-bottle case (750mL)
The brand Solear was created in 1938 and it is today still one of the biggest selling brands of Manzanilla in Spain. Taking advantage of Sanlucar's proximity to the ocean and the prevailing western winds ('Poniente') this is a very fresh, clean and intense Manzanilla, perfect to be drunk chilled on a hot day, or paired with anything fried, like tapas and seafood. A delicious aperitif.
About the producer
Barbadillo is the South and it is the Sea. It is Cadiz and it is the westerly winds. It is Sanlúcar and it is tradition. It is a centenary winery, yet it is the future. Barbadillo’s history dates back to 1821; the year in which we first began producing Manzanilla wine and since then we have done nothing but evolve as we continue to produce remarkable wines that are sure to leave their mark on all who consume them.
With our own vineyards that stretch over 500 hectares, 16 ageing wineries in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and a red and white winemaking plant, Barbadillo is one of the largest wineries in the Marco de Jerez vineyard area. The Masters of Manzanilla.
