Velo Flor is a Manzanilla that has been aged for 9-10 years (much longer than the typical 5-6 years). This results in a dry Sherry which retains Manzanilla's hallmark freshness, and yet has significantly greater richness, concentration and complexity. With a pale golden colour, it has intense aromas of chamomile, blanched almond, cider apple and salted caramel. In the mouth, it is dry and refreshing, while having superb flavour intensity, a rich, rounded smoothness. There is both a fragrance of overwintering golden apples, and a slightly salty, olive brine and charcuterie element. Absolutely awesome!

Press Review
The NV Manzanilla Velo Flor, presented in a Clavelin look-alike bottle, is filled with a wine that has clearly spent a long time under flor and is quite expressive, aromatic and powerful. It has Manzanilla character. This is a purchased wine as they still don't produce their own wines, even though the idea is to do so and even to acquire vineyards in the future. It has a pungent nose and a very saline palate, very balanced and persistent. A very good Manzanilla of considerable age, without any oxidative character.

A taste of heaven
One of the most intense and characterful Manzanillas, which allows it to stand up to food with fairly bold flavours. We drank it with chips from the local curry house (with a subtle hint of onion bhaji) served with a quick homemade aïoli sauce. The combination was heavenly!
