Talk:Manzanilla (wine)

Name
'Reminiscent of the tea' was intentional, referring to chamomile tea. The wine is also said to be reminiscent of the sea, but that's not where the name comes from. Hashashin 04:40, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

I think we need to check up on the where the name comes from. An explanation I've heard somewhere is that manzana is green apple, and that manzanilla gets its name from having the freshness of a green apple (in comparison to darker sherry styles). Tomas e (talk) 18:31, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Variety, Name and type
The article calls manzanilla "a variety of fino sherry", but this is not correct. Manzanilla is not sherry, it is manzanilla—a similarly fortified wine of its own denomination, not made at Jerez de la Frontera but at Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

The name most likely comes from the manzanilla grape, a variety associated with the town of Manzanilla, the Roman Maxilua, in the province of Huelva.

Mentions in popular culture
In Georges Bizet's famous opera Carmen (1875), in the aria Pres des Remparts de Seville, Carmen herself sings about drinking Manzanilla. This might be of interest to some readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2403:6200:88A4:439D:E140:DD6E:15F:8E54 (talk) 16:15, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
