Bodegas Baron Soluqua Manzanilla Pasada

The Manzanilla “Pasada” differs from a regular Manzanilla as it's aged longer, in this case, an average of 12 years under flor in the solera. Soluqua is the premium range from Bodegas Baron, sourced from wines that were previously reserved for family consumption only and production very limited.

This wine comes from the ‘Palomino’ variety. Obtained by gentle pressure and subjected to complete fermentation. It’s 15% alcohol is obtained by natural ageing solely in wineries located in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Being a product called “pasada” this sherry has been left to the end of its natural fermentation and, at the beginning of oxidisation, aged in old American oak for 3-4 years using traditional criaderas and solera system. The very special microclimate of the winery located at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River, foster the development of the ‘velo de flor’ providing a product of peculiar organoleptic characteristics. This biological aging continues for a period of three to four years in American oak barrels using the traditional ‘criaderas’ and solera system.

Tasting Notes: Pale yellow color. Intense smell and frank old wood notes, a touch of faded flowers and hints of nuts. Delicate hints of biological aging. In mouth fleshy, very dry, with enough weight, excellent acidity and nice tour with a slightly bitter finish.

Pairing: Mojama, anchovies in vinegar, cod, cold soups (Ajo Blanco and Salmorejo) and cured meats and Shushi.
