Equipo Navazos La Bota 110 Manzanilla Pasada ‘Capataz Cabo’

Manzanilla de Sanlúcar de Barrameda - Andalucia - Spain

ABV - 16.5%

A new release of Manzanilla Pasada from the very special small solera of just 13 barrels at the old cellars of Hijos de Sancho Marin Perez. This solera, or more accurately a selection of barrels from it, has been the source of every release of Manzanilla Pasada from Equipo Navazos originating with No 10 (that Jancis Robinson scored 20/20) to the most recent release La Bota 90, which received 96/97 from Luis Gutierrez: This is nuttier than the regular Manzanilla and even nuttier than the majority of Manzanilla Pasada, keeping the saline and marine character, hints of iodine and low tide, but also something floral and ethereal. The palate is super expressive and explosive, pungent and nuanced, with very pure and long-lasting flavours. This is truly impressive… a monumental wine. 2,500 bottles produced

The real average age of La Bota de Manzanilla Pasada 110 “Capataz Cabo” is around 14 years. It is a complex and powerful wine, of balanced freshness and elegant oxidation notes that make it truly unique. Stunningly versatile on the dinner table, it matches a wide variety of dishes, from the most easygoing (rich fish dishes, fish-based rice recipes, charcuterie) to the most difficult (runny cheeses and asian spicy food). Best served around 12º C, in moderately large stemware.
