Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of wines are Manuel Antonio de la Riva known for?
Manuel Antonio de la Riva is renowned for producing high-quality Sherry wines, a hallmark of the Jerez region in Spain. The bodega focuses on traditional Sherry styles, including Fino, Amontillado, and Oloroso. Their Fino is light, dry, and fresh, with characteristic notes of almond, yeast, and a subtle saline quality, owing to the proximity of the vineyards to the Atlantic Ocean. The Amontillado offers a more complex profile, combining the freshness of Fino with nutty, oxidative notes from its ageing process, resulting in a richer, deeper wine. The Oloroso, by contrast, is full-bodied and intense, with rich flavours of dried fruit, toffee, and spice. All of these wines reflect the bodega’s commitment to traditional methods, delivering a taste that embodies the heritage and terroir of Andalusia.

Where are Manuel Antonio de la Riva wines made?
Manuel Antonio de la Riva wines are made in the Jerez region of Andalusia, Spain, a historic area known as the birthplace of Sherry. The vineyards are planted in the famous albariza soils, which are rich in limestone and chalk, essential for retaining moisture and providing the grapes with the unique minerality that defines Sherry wines. This terroir, combined with the hot, sunny climate of southern Spain and the cooling Atlantic breezes, creates ideal conditions for the Palomino Fino grapes used in Sherry production. The bodega utilises the traditional solera ageing system, blending younger wines with older ones to achieve greater complexity and balance in their Sherries. The result is a range of wines that express the distinctive characteristics of Jerez’s vineyards and reflect centuries of winemaking expertise.

What are the best Manuel Antonio de la Riva wines?
Among the best wines produced by Manuel Antonio de la Riva are their iconic Fino and Amontillado Sherries. The Fino is a standout, celebrated for its freshness, crisp acidity, and nuanced flavours of almond, citrus, and sea breeze. This wine is particularly admired for its balance and the influence of the flor yeast, which gives it a light, briny character. Another exceptional wine is their Amontillado, which offers a perfect blend of the freshness of Fino with the added complexity of ageing. It delivers rich, nutty notes, with layers of caramel, dried fruit, and a touch of spice. Their Oloroso is another highlight, known for its bold, concentrated flavours of dried fruit, toffee, and spice, making it a rich, full-bodied Sherry with a long finish. Each of these wines showcases the bodega’s dedication to traditional Sherry production and the unique terroir of Jerez.

Are Manuel Antonio de la Riva wines affordable?
Manuel Antonio de la Riva wines are generally considered to offer good value for the quality and craftsmanship they represent. Their Fino and Amontillado Sherries are priced competitively, making them accessible for those who want to explore traditional Sherry without a hefty price tag. While some of their more aged or rare expressions, such as the Oloroso, may come at a higher price due to the extended ageing process and limited availability, they still represent excellent value when compared to other premium Sherries on the market. The bodega’s commitment to producing high-quality, artisanal Sherries ensures that even their more affordable wines offer depth, complexity, and a true reflection of the Jerez terroir. For Sherry enthusiasts and those new to the style, Manuel Antonio de la Riva wines provide a balance between affordability and the rich tradition of Andalusian winemaking.
