Andalusia, Spain (MundoVino)

The La Guita winery, nestled in the small town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, was first established under Bodegas Hijos de Rainera Pérez Marín by founder Domingo Pérez Marín, in 1852. When curious patrons inquired about his top-of-the-line Manzanilla, he would simply reply, “Do you have the guita?” This term is derived from old Andalusian slang, meaning “cash,” though its more familiar definition translates to “string.” Today, a small piece of string adorns every bottle of this alluring Manzanilla as an homage to its humble beginnings.

MIXERS

system of “Criaderas and Solera.” La Guita, En Rama Manzanilla

En Rama style sherry is bottled once a year and this expression was bottled in October 2015. The En Rama Manzanilla is extracted directly from the barrels after about 5 to 6 years and bottled without going through the process of clarification and stabilization.
