NV Bodegas Barbadillo Pastora Manzanilla Pasada en Rama Sherry

"There is a new Manzanilla from the masters of the style, the first new brand they release since they revolutionized the marked with their 'en rama' bottling. The NV Manzanilla Pasada en Rama Pastora differs from the Solear en Rama exclusively in the winery where the wine is aged, as it's bottled at a similar age, around nine years, and bottled untouched. This Manzanilla ages in the Pastora winery, but the wine is the same as the Solear. They are looking for a similar wine as the Solear en Rama and it is quite similar, but not exactly the same; the wine here feels a tad heavier, with more shoulders, a little wider in the palate. It's a matter of details." - Luis Gutierrez Review Date: April 2016
