Tasting Note

Made from Palomino grapes in the coastal town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, here the flor in the solara grows more quickly in the humid conditions, developing the flavours of this Fino Sherry into the town’s unique style. This Manzanilla is clean and fresh with green apple and almond and a tangy saline minerality on the finish.

Product Notes

La Guita Manzanilla Wine, produced in the bodegas of Sanlúcar de Barrameda in Spain, is renowned for its top-notch quality and enticing flavour. It's a light, dry Sherry characterised by a salty, tangy edge, underpinned by subtle apple and almond notes. Palate-cleansing and crisp, it carries a delicate freshness that is ideal for aperitifs and pairs pleasantly with seafood. The name 'La Guita' signifies 'string', reminiscent of the traditional string tied around the bottle. Unquestionably, this chilled wine serves as a stunning epitome of a classic, well-crafted Manzanilla. Truly a must-try for any wine enthusiast.
