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 white wine, a distinguished sherry from Sanlucar de Barrameda, Spain, boasts a light golden hue and a delicate, dry taste. It uniquely mingles salty tangs of the nearby sea with undertones of yeast and chamomile. This white  wine ageing process, within American oak casks, under a layer of yeast called 'flor', lends this wine a distinctive crispness. Its vivid freshness, paired with a hint of almond and apple, leaves a lasting enchanting aftertaste. This versatile sherry is a perfect mate for seafood and tapas. In every sip, La Guita Manzanilla encapsulates the true spirit of Andalusian coast.
