WINE ADVOCATE 94 POINTSI tasted a recent bottling of the NV Manzanilla Pasada en Rama Pastora, bottled in 2022 (clearly written on the back label) and in the context of the younger Manzanillas they are releasing, with complexity, depth and age. It has some varnish and nutty aromas, taking it toward a Manzanilla Pasada in terms of complexity and depth. This is a great wine, with an average age of nine years. There are 10,000 bottles released per year, and every year is now specified on the back label.
Barbadillo has turned into one of the most dynamic wineries from the Sherry district since the arrival of Armando Guerra, a well-known ideologist and terroirist (among other things) from Sanlúcar. He has devised some new wines and unearthed some of the treasures that have rested and been forgotten in their cellars for years. They have evolved from three Manzanilla bottlings in 2015 to 10 in 2022! They have 450 hectares of vineyards and control a further 500 hectares from growers. They have a huge range of wines and have 30,000 barrels in their 30 cellars in Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
They last bottled their oldest wines, the "Reliquias" in glass decanters in 2019. In November 2020, they presented the new format of these scarce and amazing wines that are now bottled once per year into half bottles.
