#winelovers in Jerez: Day 2 – Barbadillo and Delgado Zuleta, Sanlucar de Barrameda

 Sanlucar de Barrameda and the sea's influence on Manzanilla  


Yesterday we had another great day very well organised by Valeska and Fernando of Paladar y Tomar. Two visits in Sanlucar de Barrameda to learn about Manzanilla and why it is different to the wines from Jerez. Our first visit was to Barbadillo, whose range I partly knew already especially Solear, and then later we went to Degado Zuleta, a completely new bodega to me but with some very impressive wines offering fantastic value.
