Celebrating yesterday’s EPS article with a little drop of this lovely manzanilla pasada. I remember it as herbs, minerals and hay bales but with a bit of apricot or something.

The colour is no different of course but the nose and palate are quite different. The key words here are salt and pepper. Really zingy minerals and spicey –  white pepper – and not as much fruit (or haybale) as I remember. I am intrigued by the difference actually – both the previous bottles I remember had this jammy fruit sensation to them and this seems much more spice than fruit (and much more in keeping with the Maruja Manzanilla).
