Reviews
Wonderful manzanilla
This is an excellent manzanilla - exactly as described, and with a lovely long finish. Delicious as an aperitif and easily rivals bottles at twice the price. If you are new to dry sherries, I strongly recommend you start with this one!
Easy drinking Manzanilla
This is a lovely wine, has manzanilla typicity but is quite light and so easy to drink. There's a hint of sweetness/richness alongside the yeasty oxidative notes. Super value.
