From the stellar Equipo Navazos stable, this Manzanilla comes from a 60-strong cask selection made by Navazos founders’ Jesus Barquin and Eduardo Ojeda that was plucked from the production of La Guita, one of the most famous (and finest) Manzanilla producers (and where Ojeda oversees production in his role as the Technical Director of José Estévez). As always, this current bottling was drawn from its barrels 'en rama' (directly). This is how Manzanilla used to be bottled before sterile filtering became the standard in Jerez.
The current batch was bottled in June 2021.A wonderfully potent and briny, yet seductive wine with a deep, silky texture and plenty of sustained, tangy drive. Four and a half years under flor, and gentle bottling direct from cask, has also delivered a vibrant orange/gold colour and some nutty development. It’s a much deeper colour than almost all other Manzanillas on the market (which are typically very clear due to their youth and sterile filtration). That makes this unique in comparison to all other Manzanillas in its price range. It remains light years ahead from the more common and conventional Manzanillas most are familiar with.
