Bodegas Barrero - Manzanilla Gabriela

Leave your work worries behind and pick up a glass of sun-kissed, salt-waved, breezy, fresh, flowery goodness. If you could bottle a picnic on the beach by the ocean, Manzanilla would be it. The strong flor (yeast) creates a fascinating and totally unique flavour profile. Bright floral aromas, especially chamomile, freshly baked bread, and almonds. On the palate, it is dry and even more delicate than a Fino, with citric notes, apples, yeasty notes, and a touch of saltiness.

One of the very few single-vineyard Manzanilla wines.
The Las Cañas vineyard in the Pago Balbaina Alta is amongst the three best Albariza terroirs (albariza is the bright white calcareous soil unique to the region).

The Albariza soils are the result of marine sediment turned to chalk from an ancient inland sea. Mixed with limestone and clay, the soil is so bright it's even visible from space. An advantage of Albariza is its ability to soak up water like a sponge, sustaining the vines during the hot summer months. The only other place in the world with a similar soil composition is Champagne in France.
