Description

Dating to 1821, Barbadillo is the reference house of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, where they own 500 hectares of their own vines, vinify all their own base wines, and age their sherries in a panoply of historic bodegas, most of them exposed to the fresh sea breezes wafting through the Barrio Alto. Their manzanilla ‘Solear’ is one of the region’s truly iconic wines, but there are many delights to discover.

  • An homage to Barbadillo’s first-ever manzanilla brand, ‘Divina Pastora’
  • From a special solera housed in the Pastora bodega (itself fed by the Solear manzanilla solera.) 
  • Bottled at an average age of around 8 years 
  • Bottled with minimal filtration in order to preserve the full range of its exceptional organoleptic character

“Nice walnut, sunflower roasted seeds, hazelnuts and cashew with salted caramel aromas and hints of aged flor. Lovely freshness, with a textured mouthfeel and lengthy finish.” – 96 points, Decanter
