- Press: ‘Barbadillo in the seaside town of Sanlucar de Barrameda is best known for its crisp manzanillas, but this amazing dry oloroso is in a different league from the dreary commercial stuff and should be better known. Enjoy its ripe, smoky, beefy fruit with summer charcuterie and strong cheeses for a special lunchtime treat.’ - Jane MacQuitty - Top 100 Summer Wines under £8 - The Times
