Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Pale gold with greenish-straw highlights; manzanilla gives lightest colour of all sherry Solists, bright and clean
Nose
Savoury and coastal — sea salt, green olive, almond, chamomile, dried herb, lemon zest. Manzanilla's seaside Sanlucar character is distinct. Light tropical fruit underneath — mango, pear. The driest, most savoury Solist nose
Palate
Medium body. Savoury and dry — sea salt, green olive, almond, lemon, dried herb, white pepper. Manzanilla adds unique maritime salinity. Light honey, mango, gentle oak. Unlike any other Kavalan — the sea air of Sanlucar meets Yilan tropics
Finish
Medium-long finish. Savoury salt, almond, lemon, dried herb persist. Clean and dry at close. A fascinating outlier in the Solist range — for those who prefer savoury over sweet
