This latest saca of Manzanilla Pasada from the notable cellars of Hijos de Rainera Pérez Marín, Sanlúcar de Barrameda is the result of combining the “Bota Punta” together with two other outstanding casks of the 1/15 solera, from which all the editions of Manzanilla “Bota Punta” and “Bota NO” has come since the first, La Bota 20 right through to the most recent and highly acclaimed La Bota 100 (97 WA).

The average age of this wine is around 14 years. Stunningly versatile on the dinner table, it matches a wide variety of dishes.
