Bodegas De La Riva SL, Manzanilla Fina Miraflores Baja

Bodegas De La Riva’s Manzanilla Fina Miraflores Baja is a beautifully refined expression of coastal Sherry, combining razor-sharp freshness with the subtle complexity that only flor aging can bring. Drawn from the prized Pago Miraflores Baja in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, it captures the saline breeze, chalky soils, and elegant dryness that define great Manzanilla.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass, it opens with a lifted, expressive nose of green apple, acacia blossom, fresh yeast dough, and roasted almonds, layered with citrus peel and a faint hay-like note. On the palate it is dry, crisp, and precise, with a mouthwatering saline edge and almost no bitterness, finishing light, linear, and exceptionally elegant. Despite its slender frame, the wine shows real depth and flor-driven complexity, offering a pure and polished style of Manzanilla. Best enjoyed young for its vivid freshness, though it will hold well over the near term thanks to its concentration and traditional solera maturation.

Production
Made from 100% hand-harvested Palomino grown in the single vineyard Pago Miraflores Baja, within the DO Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The coastal location and distinctive Albariza chalk soils give the wine its trademark finesse, brisk acidity, and saline character, while the cool maritime influence helps preserve its tense, elegant style. After fermentation in stainless steel, the wine is fortified to around 15% ABV and matured under flor in a traditional solera system, with this bottling sourced from a single solera and released at an average age of 3–4 years.

Food & Serving
An ideal match for tapas, especially seafood, shellfish, and salty cured hams, as well as olives, almonds, and other savoury snacks. Serve well chilled at 6–8°C; decanting is not necessary.

Producer
Bodegas De La Riva is a respected name in Sanlúcar’s Sherry tradition, known for crafting small-scale, terroir-driven Manzanilla from highly regarded vineyard sites. This bottling is handled and aged by the almacenista Bodegas del Río, reflecting a meticulous, artisan approach and a strong focus on quality. The limited production and single-solera sourcing underline its standing as a distinctive, high-calibre Manzanilla.
