Mil Pesetas Manzanilla Sherry – Fresh and maritime sherry from Sanlúcar

Mil Pesetas Manzanilla Sherry is a classic and elegant sherry from Sanlúcar de Barrameda on the Atlantic coast. Here, the cool ocean climate creates unique conditions for aging. The result is a fresh, crisp and very distinctive sherry with a distinct maritime charm.

Manzanilla is one of the most delicate styles of sherry. It is made in the traditional way and aged in oak barrels in the famous solera system. During aging, a natural layer of yeast, called flor, forms on the surface of the wine. This layer protects the wine from oxidation and gives it its unique style.

In the cellars of Sanlúcar, the humid sea air creates ideal conditions for the flor layer. This gives the wine a special freshness and a slightly salty character. The long maturation in barrels also develops a beautiful balance between crispness and elegance.

Mil Pesetas Manzanilla is a perfect aperitif. It goes great with tapas, seafood, sushi, olives and light fish dishes. Serve well chilled in a wine glass where its fresh aromas really come into their own.
