Yuste ALCOHOL: 15% UPC CODE: 7 37686 311020 THE WINE: Dedicated to Paco Yuste's late mother Caridad (‘Kika’). Solera is located at historic Bodega Santa Ana in Sanlúcar’s Barrio Bajo, the Yuste residence. La Kika is over twelve years old, concentrated and green-gold, clinging to freshness. Individual botas are selected upon order for bottling directly by hand. THE WINERY: Since 1991, Sanlúcar de Barrameda almacenista Francisco (Paco) Yuste has pursued the objective of producing Manzanilla up to its highest historic standards. Upon rescue and restoration of venerable, endangered soleras and bodegas in Sanlúcar’s emblematic Barrio Alto and Barrio Bajo districts, classic Manzanillas and Sherries are produced. Yuste quality starts in the vineyard with the fabulous 46-hectare Viña La Alamedilla estate in the Jerez pago of Carrascal. Long term sources in El Puerto de Santa María’s Balbaína and Sanlúcar’s Miraflores contribute in equal parts to combine freshness and minerality with ample body. New wines arrive to Bodega Miraflores. Just 800 meters from the Guadalquivir estuary, Miraflores offers ideal conditions for sobretablas selection and the first stages of Manzanilla development.
