Description

Delicacy and power combine in this wonderful expression of Manzanilla Pasada - a fino sherry from Sanlucar de Barrameda whose veil of flor has weakened to the point that gentle oxidation begins.

Capataz Cabo is the most recent bodega master charged with looking after the historic 15 butts that make up this ancient solera.

97 Points - "“This is nuttier than the regular Manzanilla and even nuttier than the majority of Manzanilla Pasada, keeping the saline and marine character, hints of iodine and low tide, but also something floral and more ethereal. The palate is super expressive and explosive, pungent and nuanced, with very pure and long-lasting flavors. Really impressive. It should be bottled by the time this report comes out. This is truly impressive and should make a monumental wine. 2,500 bottles to be produced.” - Luis Gutierrez (The Wine Advocate)

This prodigious wine comes from a solera of fifteen casks that has become part of the wine heritage of humanity. It was never bottled until Equipo Navazos selected it in 2008 for its 10th release of ‘La Bota de…’, followed two years later by edition number 20 “Bota Punta”, and then a few more that have been celebrated by many wine lovers who are crazy for this superb manzanilla pasada. Under the direction of Eduardo Ojeda, along the last decade it has been carefully looked after by Capataz Cabo, a man from Jerez working in Sanlúcar who is one of the major exponents of excellence among cellarmasters in the Sherry District.
