Manzanilla sherry is a type of fortified wine produced in the coastal region of Jerez, Spain. It is known for its light, crisp flavor and is made primarily from the Palomino grape. The wine undergoes a unique aging process under a layer of yeast called "flor," which gives it a distinctive character and helps preserve its freshness. Typically served chilled, Manzanilla is often enjoyed as an aperitif and pairs well with seafood and tapas. Its bright, saline notes reflect the maritime climate of the region, making it a popular choice for those seeking a refreshing and flavorful wine experience.
