drink-nowManzanilla Pasada Pastrana, Bodegas Hidalgo

As a self-confessed sherry nut, I could not omit my favourite beverage from this selection. Whilst olorosos suit winter’s cold embrace, summer calls for something lighter but not lacking in complexity. This Manzanilla Pasada from the coastal town of Sanlucar fits the bill perfectly  Ethe citrus and bready notes of flor yeast have been tempered by longer aging, giving weight and additional layers to the wine. Sherry can be surprisingly food friendly, and this is no exception, having the weight to accompany scallops and chorizo or garlic prawns. Serve cool but not ice-cold to benefit from all the flavour this wine delivers.
