Hidalgo Pastrana Manzanilla Pasada

17 Reviews

Superb, mature, nutty manzanilla from the fine Pastrana vineyard in the Miraflores region, which has long produced the finest wines in the Hidalgo cellars. A manzanilla with the strength of character to stand up to all manner of dishes, try it with fresh tuna steaks, 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.

This single-vineyard manzanilla pasada is possibly one of the most versatile wines you can serve at a leisurely Sunday lunch. Starting as a zesty, saline aperitif alongside canapes; as a subtly nutty companion to roast chicken or cauliflower; and, finally, as a palate-cleansing counterpart to cured cheeses. Intriguing, focused and vibrant – a promise of warmer days to come.

A textbook wine. It often turned up in my MW studies as a classic – and understandably so. Pastrana is a vineyard in Miraflores and Pasada refers to the age of the wine. While many manzanillas are mild and pale, Pastrana gives the real sense of what manzanilla can be all about, and the effect of ageing the wines so close to the sea. Aromas of camomile and iodine; in the mouth you'll find yeasty, almond and briney notes.

A very special manzanilla from Hidalgo’s Pastrana vineyard near Sanlucar. Pasada means ‘aged’; the wines for the final blend were kept for many years in a ‘solera’ system of old American oak casks. Still lively and bright with salty lemon, there are also toasty rich notes and a long finish. Sip it cold with olives and Manchego cheese.

Silver medal, 92/100. Rather stylish with an apple peel and nutty nose. Rich complex notes of dried fruit and salted nuts. Long, floral finish.

Bone dry, it has a salty twang from ageing near the sea at Sanlucar de Barrameda, Pasada denoting an older style, giving greater depth and complexity. Intense nose, with flavours of almonds and orange peel and a long, satisfying finish, showing its great quality. Pair with a fish pie, seafood pasta, smoked mackerel and other flavoursome dishes, or as a delicious aperitif.

Manzanilla is similar in style to fino, but produced around the port of Sanlucar de Barrameda rather than Jerez. This maritime climate subtly affects the yeasty flor, creating a less nutty, tangy sherry. Hailing from Bodegas Hidalgo, this has impressive depth of flavour.

As soon as summer arrives, a bottle of this goes straight in my fridge. An aged single vineyard Manzanilla sherry from one of the finest of all producers, it’s about as fine a mid-morning palate cleanser as you’ll find. Bone dry and full of dried olives, nuts and wild herbs followed by a long, salty finish, it’ll have you gasping for more.
