A lovely manzanillo sherry with aromas of toasted almond and Earl Grey tea. Tangy and zesty. Pair with toasted almonds and hard cheeses.

Reviews and Ratings

This dry fortified Spanish wine is in the dessert category because it's fortified, however the style is dry as is typical of Manzanilla sherries. La Gitana sources its grapes from the much-respected Balbaina and Miraflores Vineyards in Jerez. The wine is aged for 5 years in a solera (barrel fractional blending system) that's been used since the 19th century. - Community Wine Review.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
