Aurora Manzanilla 50cl

A round yet fresh nose with Bramley apple and plenty of dried kelp and flor. It shows a little more buttery notes, almonds and even vanilla roundness than you’d expect. I’m sure other bodegas would already call it a Manzanilla Pasada, but here it is younger than La Kika of course.

On the palate, it’s refreshing start, with bright juiciness of apples and citrus, but picking up strength rapidly. This leads to a full, slightly oily body, with warm mineral notes and some spiciness (fennel seeds). Dry, with autolytic yeasty notes, gentle green olives and moderate acidity. Some savoury notes towards the finish.
