La Cigarrera, Manzanilla Pasada

Half-Bottle of La Cigarrera, Manzanilla Pasada

Item # 28059 375mL

This small Sanlúcar company was founded in 1758 however only started bottling their own wines in the late 1990s. Before they supplied wines to larger firms.

Jerez

Sherry actually gets its name from our anglo-inability to pronounce the word “Jerez,” the town at the southern end of Spain in which the wine is produced. Like Champagne, Sherry can only be called Sherry if it comes from this specific region. That said, there are other “Sherry-styled” wines worthy of note produced outside of the Sherry D.O. (known as vinos generosos). Montilla, lying to the north-east of Jerez, produces some of the finest Pedro Ximénez in the world.
