The wine's story:
This wine shows very clearly why manzanilla is not simply another name for fino. Miraflores Baja’s proximity to the sea gives it a special lightness, salinity and sharp focus that are hard to replicate inland. In De La Riva’s hands it is a classic style, but with a very pure, terroir-conscious interpretation in which youthfulness, salinity and sapidity matter. It is a wine that combines the traditional idea of manzanilla with a very clear sense of place.
Winemaking:
100% Palomino. The wine comes from the Miraflores Baja area near the sea and matures under flor in a solera system. The barrels are not filled to the brim so that the flor can stay active and give the wine its classic manzanilla character: dryness, nuttiness, umami and maritime finesse. This is a non-vintage wine whose value lies in the precise balance between maturity and freshness.
Tasting notes:
On the nose, white flowers, green apple, pear, almond, sea salt and a light yeasty note. On the palate very dry and bright with a sharp saline focus, light-bodied yet intense. The finish lingers with white almond, chalk and a very pure marine sapidity.
Food pairing:
Pairs with olives, jamón, prawns, oysters, anchovies, fried fish and all kinds of tapas. An ideal aperitif wine, yet substantial enough for the table.
Ageing potential:
Best drunk within 1–4 years to preserve its liveliness, maritime tension and youthful manzanilla character.
Ratings & accolades:
Ratings for different bottlings: Tim Atkin 96/100 (saca 2025); Wine Advocate 94/100 and Falstaff 94/100 (earlier saca).
