Homonym: Manzanilla (Chamomile)
Manzanilla is a type of dry white wine produced in the Sherry region of Spain, specifically in the town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda. It is made from the Palomino grape and is known for its light, crisp flavor and distinctive salty notes, which come from the unique coastal climate and the influence of the nearby Atlantic Ocean.
This wine is aged under a layer of yeast called "flor," which protects it from oxidation and contributes to its unique taste. Manzanilla is often enjoyed chilled and pairs well with seafood, tapas, and other light dishes, making it a popular choice for casual dining and celebrations.
