It is distinguished by its aroma and flavor of green apple, almonds, and salinity, making it an excellent pairing with fish, seafood, and Iberian ham. But they also have their differences, because chamomile grows under a thicker more durable yeast layer due to marine influence, which perfumes the salt, softening its impact and lightens its golden yellow colour.

To me titles like ‘Manzanilla is the best-selling sherry’ are fine, simply because we have to find a balance between scientific precision and common sense. Once fermented, the wine will contain a high level of residual sugars, which imparts a distinctively sweet character. When it comes to manzanilla, the most obvious soup match is a classic Andalusian gazpacho, or indeed its less well known cousin salmorejo.Moreover, the biological agents of the yeast level, which feed on alcohol, glycerin and acetic acid, interact with the wine, giving it its unique personality. It is also paired harmoniously with shellfish such as prawns, kind prawns and lobster, and salads and anchovies in vinegar are excellent accompaniments to Manzanilla due to their low acidity and freshness. Barbadillo’s Solear has ten criaderas for example, and the Solera that produces La Gitana has fourteen. As a result it has that tremendous saline character allied to hints of green apples, lemon and almonds.
