The Pinnacle of Biological Ageing, a Treat for Manzanilla Enthusiasts

“Pastora” is a complex and subtle fortified wine. Its years of aging are evident in its golden colour and a nose that is heavy with yeast aromas, complemented by notes of the sea and salt. This intense and powerful wine leaves a lasting impression on the palate, with a prominent dry and salty taste that finishes with a slight, pleasant bitterness.

STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Pastora was the first Manzanilla ever to appear on the market in a bottled form, at a time when Manzanilla was mostly a local wine that was sold directly to consumers in bars (by the glass or in their own container).Pastora is a true Manzanilla Pasada, rooted in the solera system of the already well aged but even older. Pastora spends six years in the Solear solera (bodega El Potro) until a selection of barrels is moved some fifty meters down the road, to the bodega La Pastora, where the wine spends an additional three years. It is around 9 years old at the time of bottling and brings back a style that was in vogue in the 19th century and slowly disappeared in recent times.
