History
La Cigarrera's en rama range has become one of the most sought-after expressions of unfiltered Manzanilla from Sanlúcar's small bodegas. The Pasada En Rama is drawn from older butts in the solera where flor activity has naturally decreased, producing the intermediate Manzanilla Pasada character before bottling without filtration to preserve the live complexity.
