Williams & Humbert Alegria Manzanilla Sherry

Manzanilla Sherry is a fantastic summer drink. The higher the temperature climbs, the more refreshing these wines become. Served well chilled, Manzanilla is also a perfect match with fresh seafood, sushi and sashimi.
Almost certainly this supremely dry, pale wine, which is made around and matured in the sea town of San Lucar de Barrameda, gets its name from a wine-producing village situated between Huelva and Seville, many miles further north. It is averred that the pleasant bitter/dry tang these sherries possess is due to the salt sea air which blows into the Sanlucar bodegas from the Atlantic, and that they lose this characteristic when matured inland. (The conjecture that the word “Manzanilla” has anything to do with small apples or crab apples is incorrect. “Manzanita” is the diminutive of apple, not man zanilla -though this word is Spanish for camomile, which again has nothing to do with the derivation.)
