Background: Barbadillo Blanco de Albariza is a pioneer in the white wines of southern Spain. It was first introduced in 1975 as Castillo de San Diego, revolutionizing the use of Palomino Fino for young white wines instead of fortified sherry.
The wine reflects the region’s unique microclimate and albariza soil, known for its white, chalky texture, salinity and high moisture retention, which enhance the freshness and flavor of the grapes.
The wine’s updated brand image emphasizes its connection to Sanlúcar de Barrameda, with a label design inspired by the winery’s historic tiled facade.
