Winemaker Description
Very intense, with lots of haybales and chalk, but also big hints of chamomile and rounder pastry notes. Roasted almonds, old apples and grapefruits peels too. It’s dry, zingy and punchy, with a lot of flor influence and maturity. The warming intensity even hints at a Fino sherry at times.

Wine Advocate 94 points | The 2015 Manzanilla La Especial Pago Miraflores is a new, rare, single-harvest and single-vineyard Manzanilla bottled in a Rhine bottle (because there was a Manzanilla from Valdespino bottled in that bottle years ago). This would make more sense as a wine from La Guita. This is quite powerful and concentrated; the single-harvest wines age at a faster pace, and the wines are more concentrated. 2015 was already a powerful vintage, and time has only increased its power. There are 2,800 bottles of this wine, and there might be a second bottling, but this first bottling doesn't have the bottling date.
