- Not really my thing
Got this as part of a mixed case and it was my first time trying Manzanilla. It's very dry and has this nutty, almost savoury thing going on. I can see why people like it but I think I prefer something with a bit more fruit. Fine for the price though.

- Good sherry for the money
Decent everyday Manzanilla. Nice almond flavour and that salty finish you want from Sanlúcar. Not the most complex sherry I've had but at £9.95 you can't really complain. Had it with some olives and ham and it worked a treat.

- Brilliant with tapas
Picked this up after the guy at the wine shop said it was perfect for a tapas night we were doing. He was right — really salty and dry, almost like sea air in a glass. At under a tenner it's a no-brainer if you're into sherry.

- Holiday memories in a bottle
This reminded me of drinking chilled sherry on holiday in Andalucía. Really fresh and briny with a clean finish that makes you keep going back for more. Served it cold with some prawns and crisps on a sunny afternoon — perfect. Would definitely buy again at this price.
