Lustau Papirusa Manzanilla Sherry / Half Bottle

Freya Lindqvist — Good but wish it was cheaper

6/10

Had this at a restaurant and liked it enough to track down a bottle. Nice briny quality and green apple notes, proper refreshing served cold. £12.75 for a half bottle feels a touch steep though — I've had comparable Manzanillas for less.

Natalie Ford — Not really my thing

5/10

My partner loves sherry so I got this for her birthday. I tried some and honestly it's a bit too dry and salty for me — I kept wanting it to be sweeter. She enjoyed it though so maybe I just don't get Manzanilla yet.

Sara Lindstrom — Great little find

7/10

The guy at my local wine shop recommended this when I said I wanted to try sherry. Really clean and crisp with a sort of chamomile and nutty flavour I wasn't expecting. At 20% ABV the half bottle is actually plenty for two people over dinner. Will definitely explore more Lustau stuff.
