Bodegas Hidalgo La Gitana, Manzanilla Pasada Pastrana Sherry, NV 030825NewWines Excellent hand-made Pastis that isManzanilla Pasada is the most serious category of Manzanilla Sherry it means the wine has remained under flor long enough to develop additional depth and complexity beyond the light, saline freshness of standard Manzanilla. Pastrana is Hidalgo La Gitana's single vineyard site in the Sanlcar de Barrameda pagos, a specific piece of albariza chalk land that gives this wine more concentration and personality than the house's famous La Gitana bottling.
