Solear En Rama is one of the founding documents of the modern en rama movement. Barbadillo was the first bodega to release a Manzanilla in unfiltered form — beginning in 1999 with Solear — and in doing so established a template that has since been adopted across the entire region. Released four times a year as seasonal sacas, each edition reflects the state of the flor at a specific moment: winter, spring, summer and autumn, each with its own character and intensity.
The wine is bottled as a Manzanilla Pasada, around eight to nine years old, drawn from the best barrels in the Solear system. En rama means no fining, no filtration, no cold stabilisation: the wine as it exists in the barrel, transferred directly to the bottle. The nose is richer and more complex than the standard Solear — warm hay, dried chamomile, lemon peel, a deeper saline register and the low golden glow of aged flor. The palate has a broader, more textural presence, with greater length and depth. An essential reference point for the Manzanilla category.
