Hidalgo Pastrana Manzanilla Pasada
Sherry from Spain
A Gold-medal winner at the 2020 International Wine Challenge, this is the best example of this style of sherry we have tasted, and a great bargain. It comes from the fine Pastrana vineyard in the Miraflores region, which has long produced the finest wines in the Hidalgo cellars. As fine, nutty manzanilla with the strength of character to stand up to all manner of dishes. Try with red-fleshed tuna, or a shellfish stew.

Hidalgo
Bodegas Hidalgo is one of the few remaining family-run businesses based in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, having been founded in 1792. It specialises in single-solera and single-vineyard bottlings, and crafts excellent manzanilla (the dry, flor-influenced style of sherry that can only be produced and aged in the coastal town of Sanlúcar).
Hidalgo is one of the few bodegas to craft a pasada style, which is essentially an aged manzanilla, of around seven years old, where the veil of flor (which protects the wine against oxidation) has faded, resulting in a manzanilla with a deeper colour and mature flavours.

Most unusual sherry from a single vineyard. Toasted, reminds me of that Japanese tea made of toasted rice. This would match so many foods - ham, cheese, nuts, broths, noodles - so happily.

Manzanilla is thefinest of all sherries but when it’s aged, like this one, it grows richer andpunchier, more iodine than sea air and more sourdough crust than fresh breaddough.
