Velo Flor Manzanilla, Bodegas Alonso
This superb dry sherry combines the three vital elements of a good manzanilla, namely concentration, saltiness and freshness, to delicious effect. Made with palomino grapes from the Pago de Maina vineyard and aged for almost ten years in highly seasoned old 600-litre oak casks, it is little short of spectacular, with intense, complex notes of hazlenuts, iodine and sea salt, and a very long almost spicy finish. Hand harvested, traditionally aged, bottled and labelled by hand with no cold stabilisation, no clarification and no filtration, this is truly an artisan wine.
