What it pairs with

With cheese

Queso de cabra payoya Our pick Quesería El Gazul calls its goat cheese creamy and balanced, with fresh herbal notes and clean milky tones. A Manzanilla, bone dry and aged under flor in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, meets that freshness with its own. Serve it very chilled.

How to serve Manzanilla

Allow 5 minutes from open to pour.

  1. Open and pour. Open and pour directly. No decanting required for this style.
  2. Serve at 8-10°C. Cellar temperature (8-10°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
  3. Glassware. Use a Sherry copita: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
  4. Pair with. Fresh oysters, Fried baby clams. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.

History

Obregón produces both a Fino (under the Jerez DO) and a Manzanilla (under the Sanlúcar DO), reflecting the dual Atlantic-town tradition of El Puerto bodegas that historically also produced Sanlúcar-classified wines. The Manzanilla is the lighter, more saline expression of the biological ageing tradition.
