LA GUITA MANZANILLA SANLÚCAR 75 CL

LA GUITA MANZANILLA SANLÚCAR 75 CL.

La Manzanilla La Guita 75 cl is one of the most popular and representative wines of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, produced by Bodegas Hijos de Rainera Pérez Marín (part of the Estévez Group for decades). It is considered “the” quintessential manzanilla in the area, with an enormous solera (more than 16,000 casks) and frequent bottlings (up to 6 times a year) to maximize freshness. The name “La Guita” comes from Andalusian slang for “money” or “rope” (hence the string around the neck of the bottle in many versions).

Made 100% from Palomino Fino grapes from vineyards on albariza soil, it ages under a layer of flor yeast for an average of 4-5 years in the Pago Sanlúcar Viejo and Misericordia cellars, giving it a very marine, fresh, and saline character typical of Sanlúcar (strong Atlantic influence).

It is a dry, vibrant, and saline manzanilla, with great freshness and complexity thanks to the active flor veil, ideal for daily consumption and as an aperitif. Very approachable and with excellent value for money, it is the most consumed manzanilla at fairs such as the one in Seville.
