James Halliday
"I’ve been drinking this wine frequently, as I knew I would when I gave up the struggle and bought it. Spanish Manzanilla, screwcapped and rushed to Australia within weeks of being bottled, is utterly addictive. It’s bone dry, tangy and perfectly balanced; all the descriptors relate to its inimitable texture and structure.
Baskets of fruit are not what this wine is about: indeed, its very neutrality is its greatest strength, for it will match any food of any description you care to throw against it. Then again, it is equally at home as an aperitif, which is where I start each night."
94/100 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
"Aromas of sea spray, yeast, almonds and chamomile. So tangy and invigorating that the mouth starts to water in anticipation. Clean and fresh on the palate with briny salted almond and yeasty flavours and again with that lovely mouth perfume of chamomile. Finishes dry and salty leaving the mouth refreshed and ready for action. One of the best things you can drink."
88/100 Wine Enthusiast
"Oxidized stone fruit, flor, barrel lacquer and vanilla aromas are sharp but true for Manzanilla. A layered palate is lively and acidic, with nutty, creamy flavors of brined apricot. A rich-feeling finish is cut by zesty acidity, and as a whole this Sherry gets it right."
