Bodegas Barbadillo Nave Trinidad Manzanilla En Rama

Bodegas Barbadillo Nave Trinidad Manzanilla En Rama is a raw, unfiltered expression of Manzanilla drawn directly from the heart of Barbadillo’s historic solera system in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Produced by Bodegas Barbadillo, this wine is aged under a thick veil of flor in the seaside bodegas known as naves, where Atlantic humidity and cool temperatures shape its singular profile. Bottled en rama, it undergoes minimal filtration to preserve maximum intensity, texture, and aromatic purity. The result is a Manzanilla that is saline, razor-sharp, and vividly alive, offering a more powerful and authentic snapshot of the solera than standard bottlings. This is sherry in its most honest form, capturing place, tradition, and biological aging without cosmetic refinement. It is highly expressive, gastronomic, and unmistakably Sanlúcar.

Nose
Piercingly fresh aromas of chamomile, green almond, sea spray, and lemon peel. Subtle notes of fresh dough, flor yeast, and crushed oyster shell underline its biological aging.

Palate
Bone-dry and incisive, with flavors of raw almond, saline minerality, green apple skin, and bitter herbs. The texture is taut and mouthwatering, driven by bracing acidity and the savory depth of flor.

Finish
Long, briny, and electric, finishing with lingering salt, chamomile bitterness, and a clean, chalky snap that begs another sip.

Jamón Ibérico or cured meats – The wine’s salinity and dryness cut cleanly through fat and enhance umami.

Raw seafood – Exceptional with oysters, clams, shrimp, or ceviche, echoing the wine’s maritime character.

Fried foods – Classic with fried anchovies, calamari, or croquettes, where acidity and flor notes refresh the palate.

Spanish tapas – Marcona almonds, olives, boquerones, and tortilla española all pair seamlessly.
