Herederos de Argueso Manzanilla Las Medallas NV

Press

It would be a tragedy if you ignored this glded, bemedalled bottle because within lies one of the best manzanillas; a magnificent, yeasty, tangy, floral and iodine charged, five year old explosion of flavour from one of the best Sanlucar sherry bodegas of them all, Herederos de Argueso, founded in 1822. Manzanilla comes from the seaside town of Sanlucar de Barrameda; the spongy layer of flor yeast that gives drier sherry styles of fino and manzanilla its flavour, grows more vigorously here. Hence this magnificent fortified wine.
