Hidalgo La Gitana Pasada Pastrana Manzanilla

Other Reviews....
The golden-colored NV Manzanilla Pasada Pastrana is a Manzanilla produced from Palomino grapes from the Pastrana vineyard within the pago Miraflores, aged under flor, but finishing its upbringing in a semi-oxidative way as the flor weakens, starts to die off, and bottled with a total average of 12 year of age. It has a distinct nose redolent of peanuts, smoke, bitter almonds, quince and olives, combining biological and oxidative notes. The palate shows a medium- to full-bodied wine, very powerful and strongly-flavored, ending with a smoky finish. A fine nose and a powerful palate. A unique wine. 24,000 bottles are produced yearly.

Rich and racy, this combines floral chamomile and honeysuckle notes with bracing fleur de sel and lemon pith flavors, all backed by hints of singed almond and wet straw. Shows lovely range and drive. Drink now.
