De La Riva Manzanilla Fina en Rama Miraflores Baja NV

Regular price $88
Regular price $88

The 2024 bottling of the NV Manzanilla Fina Miraflores Baja has the same source as the other 2024 Fino, but here they are looking for more reductive character and more sea, a salty character. It makes you salivate with the intense salinity. This is more closed, an austere white wine with little influence from the flor. It finishes with a bitter twist and very pungent, persistent flavors. This comes from Miraflores Baja, from the Casilla Verde vineyard. This is an amazing value for money. Oceanic austerity. 2,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2024 (on the back label, it says Lot 3/24, the third from 2024). 94Pts - Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate

De La Riva is the project from Willy Pérez and Ramiro Ibañez. They produce their own wines and also offer very limited quantities of extremely old wines they purchase from producers or families in the Jerez region. Their portfolio is expanding.
