I have something special for you in Sanlúcar de Barrameda that has seen life go by. History, in silence, has engraved in its memory what has happened and stored in its flavour. The passage of time and very special conditions created the gold of Sanlúcar, “La Manzanilla”.
At the end of the 18th century, the criaderas and solera ageing system was established and, in the 19th century, Manzanilla was consolidated as a member of the Denominations of Origin Jerez, Vinegar, Brandy de Jerez and Manzanilla de Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
Now, in the 21st century, it has risen from the ashes to modernise and offer us forms and nuances hitherto unknown. More than 20 wineries bring us the revolution of the Manzanilla de Sanlúcar and the wines of Jerez.
