<b>An exploration and appreciation of a fine Spanish sherry too often overlooked in the world of wines and aperitifs—but is about to make its mark.</b><br>  <br> Little-known and underappreciated, Manzanilla is a variety of fino sherry made around the port of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Andalusia, Spain.<br>  <br> Here, the author of <i>Is This the Wine You Ordered, Sir?</i> and <i>A Traveller’s Wine Guide to France</i>, casts an admiring light on a delightful sherry that is only now gaining the reputation it deserves and finding admirers all around the world.<br>  <br> Basing his findings on research in the archives of the Duchess of Medina Sidonia and visits to the bodegas of all the leading producers, Christopher Fielden guides the reader towards a new view of this dry white wine.<br>  <br> Tasting notes are also provided.
