Delgado Zuleta La Goya Manzanilla LG64 375ml
DOZEN: $356.40 or $29.70 each
"La Goya" is a Manzanilla pasada, meaning it has been aged for a relatively long time (8 years, compared to Manzanilla standard of about 4 and a half). The wine is bottled, however, before the flor yeast can die off, thus avoiding any Amontillado characters. The oyster shell suggestion in normal Manzanilla becomes a richer scent of abalone, and the wine has a fabulous builders' lime streak which directly reflects the flavour of the chalky 'albariza' soils in which it's grown. SCOTT WASLEY, spanishacquisition
Unique, evocative and just flat-out delicious. Green apple, camomile flowers, faintly edged with yeast and a drift sea spray. A bit of a whiskey thing going on as well. Texture is lively and sizzles across the palate but not without a little lurking textural parry mid way through. Dry and saliva-inducing. Every time I drink it, I wonder why I don;t drink it more often. MICHAEL MCNAMARA, PWS
