San León Manzanilla Reserva Sherry
00180217
This intense, aromatic, dry, mineral manzanilla is slightly more complex than her sister San León. It is not only the ensign sherry of this winery but also so typically representative of the fresh, salty Sanlúcar de Barrameda sherry style that it is often used at international sherry demonstrations and tasting schools. Reminiscence of chamomile along with notes of almonds and dough. From the 1822 original Argüeso winery solera –sherry traditional set of oak butts.

Reviews
San Leon Manzanilla Reserva
Fuller than the excellent Manzanilla from the same bodega, has almost amontillado character
Argueso Reserva de Familia
Lovely example of Manzanilla, very easy to drink but with enough complexity to maintain interest. First time having this but a fan of the San Leon for some time.
