Barbadillo: Sherry Manzanilla AS de Mirabras Sumatorio

Parker über: Sherry Manzanilla AS de Mirabras Sumatorio

-- Parker: The 2020 Manzanilla ÁS de Mirabrás Sumatorio is a Manzanilla produced from the ÁS de Mirabrás white wine from a single harvest, produced with Palomino from the Miraflores, Añina, Macharnudo, Campix and Santa Lucía pagos on albariza white soils with plants averaging 30 years of age. The white wine from 2020 had 13% alcohol and was fortified to 15% and was left in bota with flor for three years, so it's a lighter style of Manzanilla, gentler. It's expressive and floral, with notes of rose petals and talcum powder intermixed with hints of esparto grass, nuanced and elegant, clearly Manzanilla but keeping traces of white wine, with youth but the added complexity. It's bottled unfiltered, so it can sometimes be a bit cloudy. It has lightness. They produced some 2,500 bottles that should be bottled in December 2023.
