What it pairs with
-
Fresh oysters
The raw, saline intensity of oysters is matched by the live flor character of en rama. -
Sea urchin on toast
Oceanic mineral intensity of sea urchin meets the wine's equally intense saline depth. -
Tuna tataki
Light sear on tuna with citrus resonates with en rama's fresh, racy character.
History
Pedro Romero began releasing Aurora En Rama in the early 2000s, tapping the Aurora solera directly in spring when flor coverage is thickest. The unfiltered bottling preserves the live flor yeast and suspended particles that give en rama Manzanilla its distinctive turbid appearance and richer texture compared to filtered releases.
