The grapes go through the asoleo (sun-dried) process and the wine is under flor for 20 months. Apparently this was the signature style of Manuel Antonio de la Riva at the height of its fame in the 19th century. Deliciously creamy, fruity flor character. Blanched almonds and citrus. Even a little curry leaf. Elegant and multi-layered. Intense palate of baked apples and almond cream. Seems to capture the essence of flor-aged Sherry, and of perfectly ripe Palomino grapes with the sun shining through them. Impeccable.
