Manzanilla is much like Fino sherry, which is produced by the sea where the conditions are even more suitable for the growing of flor. Though the maturation is the same as for the Kavalan Fino, the texture is lighter and more delicate with a touch of saltiness together with mineral flavours, which are all the consequences of a stable and thick layer of flor, sea breezes and brine.
Tasting Note:
Nose: Fresh fruit, chopped herbs and coffee beans. Subtly sharp with green apples.
Palate: Developing notes of citrus peel and strawberry liquorice, with a little bit of sea-salt.
Finish: Juicy raisins and a slight waft of damson jam.
