The original Pastora label is from so long ago there are no originals left other
than a a version in tiles embedded on the walls of one of Barbadillo's bodegas.
The brand is thought to be the oldest Manzanilla brand in existence and
goes back to the first ever Manzanilla sold by Barbadillo, shortly after
the company's foundation in 1821.
Since then Barbadillo has continued to make Manzanilla from soleras that date
back to the company's foundation and in 2015 the family decided it was time
to revive this brand with a Manzanilla that would have been very similar to the
style so popular in the 19th century, a Manzanilla Pasada, and with minimal
filtration, thus 'En Rama'.

This Manzanilla has been aged for 8 years before bottling, making it a ‘Pasada' style. The extra ageing on a ‘pasada' builds complexity, body and adds a hint of oxidation as the veil of ‘flor' begins to thin. It is also an ‘En Rama' or ‘raw' manzanilla meaning the wine has been bottled straight from the cask with no fining or filtration to preserve the body and freshness.

Ideal with shellfish, hams, grilled vegetables and all things salty. Serve slightly chilled.
