28.11.14 Manzanilla Solear in Wine Spectator Top 100

While the province of Cádiz suffers seriously heavy rainfall, motorcycle testing continues at the circuit in Jerez, a Golden Eagle and a deer are rescued and released back into the wild and Manzanilla Solear from Bodegas Barbadillo is selected as the only Sherry in the “Top 100” world wines chosen by Wine Spectator. This is the magazine’s 26^th Top 100 and it is no mean feat to be there, but Solear has one of the longest ageing periods under flor for a Manzanilla Fina as well as a long pedigree, and is fairly widely available, a factor taken into account.
