Beautiful Manzanilla, not overly tropical.
Rides the line between nutty and Saline.

Manzanilla en Rama Saca de Verano 2017. One of the best Sherry which I've ever tried. The aroma is something in between premium burgundy and premium Jura with very delicate flor aromas. And the mouth-feeling is fantastic. Great Wine! — 8 years ago

Medium lemon color with medium+ aromas of dried fruits, green olives, bread dough, nuts and citrus notes. On the palate this dry Sherry shows flavors of dried apricots, almonds, black currant leaf and citrus zest. Long finish ending with briny, salty character. Very good, drink now no bottle aging benefit. Tasting Sample. — 6 years ago
Saca febrero 2017. Tried 6 months later, fab value for money, a more fino amontillado style... Im definitely a fan!! Will be trying again definitely. — 8 years ago
Very impressed by the Palmas series, a special release of “en rama” sherries from selected casks from the Tío Pepe solera. Traditionally, cellarmasters in Jerez would mark exceptional casks with a chalk drawing of a palm tree branch (palma in Spanish), potentially adding more branches if those wines continued to show finesse and delicacy as they aged. To make the selection, González Byass’ invites different guests (mostly wine critics and somms) every year, an honor that befell Ferran Centelles (El Bulli) in 2020.
The 2020 Una Palma comes from three casks from the Tio Pepe solera with 6 years of aging under flor, bottled unfined and unfiltered (en rama). Sharp nose with notes of almonds, yeast and hints of citrus. Fresh, mineral and very saline. Much more intense aromas and flavors than the regular Tio Pepe — 4 years ago
Crisp, funky, delicate nose. Very briny.
Oyster shell, palate coating palate.
No caramel or toffee, very steely.
Delicious. Bright. — 5 years ago
a fine fino. — 5 years ago
Very good quality with a solid expression of its provenance and a good length. Bruised apples, yeast, bread, iodine and a dry chalkiness puts this right where it belongs a good concentration on the palate which could last longer. As all serious sherries it is performing well above its price which takes you the question that everyone ask themselves, why don’t I drink more sherry? — 6 years ago
