Hidalgo La Gitana · Manzanilla En Rama · 750ml
Hidalgo La Gitana Manzanilla En Rama offers a concentrated, complex expression of Manzanilla from Sanlúcar de Barrameda in Andalucía, Spain. Drawn straight from the solera and bottled with minimal treatment, it emphasizes depth, purity and the distinctive character of flor.
En Rama Bottling
Produced since 2011, this special bottling is released in small quantities twice a year, in spring and fall when the flor is at its thickest. Little to no fining, filtration or stabilization preserves a more intense expression of the wine.
Tasting Notes
Chamomile, dried herbs, sea spray and dried nuts lead into a soft, rounded palate of apple skin, dried pear, hazelnut and salt. Pronounced flor character, richness and a long finish give this Manzanilla its distinctive savory appeal.
Winemaker Description
The Hidalgo La Gitana Manzanilla En Rama — a style of Manzanilla or Fino that is drawn straight from the solera and bottled with little to no fining, filtration or stabilization — is a special bottling that has been produced only since 2011. Twice a year — once in the spring and once in the fall, when the flor is at its thickest — Hidalgo takes wine straight from the solera and bottles a small release with minimal treatments, resulting in a Manzanilla that is more concentrated, complex and intense.
Brilliant mid-lemon color with intoxicating aromas of chamomile, dried herbs, sea spray, flor and dried nuts. The palate shows a striking depth of flavor with remarkable length and purity; soft and round with flavors of apple skin, dried pear, hazelnut, salt and a healthy dose of flor. Stunning for its complexity, richness and depth.
Serving & Pairing Suggestions
Serve chilled with olives, salted almonds, anchovies, shellfish or fried fish. Its saline, nutty character makes it a compelling companion for a spread of savory tapas.
