Manzanilla de añada Callejuela 2012 – 1/11


More from the Night of the Pitijopos – and a new blogging low: failure to take any pictures of the wines. Luckily someone sent me a picture so I could cut this one.

This is excellent – really fresh, youthful and fruitful but elegant, polished and compact at the same time. I feel that it is maybe still a little meek although this could be down to its youth: the next couple of editions may well gain intensity and steel. In any event this is a lovely, light, enjoyable wine by any standards.

The group absolutely loved it, and I sensed some of the same enthusiasm I felt the first time I heard about this. It bears repeating: this is yet another fantastic, fascinating idea, and one that will excite any wine lover that hears of it.
