This is a sea breeze in a bottle, straight from the coast of Sanlúcar.
The Ultimate Aperitif
When people speak of classic Manzanilla, they are picturing a wine exactly like Papirusa. Born in the breezy Atlantic town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, this bone-dry, feather-light Sherry tastes like salt air and jasmine vines. On the nose, it’s all green olives, chamomile, and salted almonds. The palate is crisp as linen and sharp as wit.
Made from 100% Palomino Fino and aged for about five years under a thick veil of flor, Papirusa captures a sense of place like few wines can. Its bracing acidity and sea-spray salinity make it one of the most refreshing wines on earth.
How to Enjoy
Serve this ice-cold. It is the definitive wine for oysters, anchovies, fried fish, and all manner of tapas.
