Founded in 1821, Barbadillo is the largest producer of Manzanilla in the whole of the Jerez region.
Barbadillo is currently run by the seventh generation of the family and owns 500 hectares of vineyards spread over two estates, Gibalbín and Santa Lucía, both of which are located in the Jerez Superior area. The Gibalbín estate has an extensive winemaking plant fully equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Barbadillo’s seventeen wine cellars are strategically distributed over the best areas of Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The cellars occupy a total area of more than 75.000 m² and have an overall capacity of 35 million litres (around 65.000 casks), the largest in Sanlúcar.
Manzanilla Solear is from a solera aged between six and seven years old. Intense and bright in appearance with a pale straw colour. The nose is intense and wonderfully fresh with a hint of saline that carries through to a palate that is very dry with a smooth elegance and great persistence.
A classic Manzanilla, pretty much the standard Manzanilla in the bars of Sanlúcar.
The Gutiérrez Colosía Bodegas are located in Puerto de Santa Maria and date back to 1838.
The architecture of the warehouses is known as Nave Cathedral (cathedral-like). These arched buildings, of significant height, help expose the wines to the influence of the local climate.
Very dry and elegant. Pale straw in colour, with a delicate almondry aroma, dry and light on the palate and aged under a protective layer of “flor” for at least three years.

Juan Sánchez de la Torre founded Sánchez Romate in 1781 in Jerez to produce fine wines. More than two centuries later Sánchez Romate is one of the oldest bodegas in Spain and one of the few that remains in family hands. This has allowed the company to maintain its independence and continue making wines in the same time-honoured tradition. Over the years their quality has been rewarded with appointments to the Huse of Lords and the Vatican.
This is not your ordinary style of Fino. With its name translated as “Lost Fino”, it’s a mature style that has spent eight years in cask. It has plenty of complexity and concentration but still retains its freshness and vibrancy.
