Bodegas del Rio Oro Solera Playa is a Manzanilla Pasada with nine years of aging under flor. This extended biological aging gives the sherry aromatic depth and a rich texture, balanced by freshness and a distinctive salty finish.
Origin & Aging
From Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Spain, this Palomino Fino bottling reflects the coastal character of Manzanilla. Flor, the layer of yeast on the wine’s surface, shapes its development during aging. The extended time under flor is central to this Pasada’s layered character.
Tasting Notes
Almond, brine and citrus aromas introduce a textured palate with dried-fruit notes, chamomile and subtle salinity. Freshness keeps the wine balanced, leading to a salty twist and a pleasant bitter note on the finish.
Serving & Pairing Suggestions
Serve chilled as an aperitif or alongside oysters, clams and grilled fish. Suggested tapas pairings include olives, anchovies and jamón ibérico. Fried foods and aged Manchego offer savory contrasts to its freshness and saline character.
