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.

“This round white has texture and grip, with rich and focused flavors of apple, almond, green olive, and brine. Offers plenty of fruit, but remains grounded thanks to the briny character. Expressive and balanced.”

Manzanilla

“I encountered a first bottle in the north of Spain and I was gobsmacked. The character of brine, green olives and mustard seeds is all there in an amplified way. The palate is medium bodied, and the wine is sharper, very dry and intense. This is a selection of ‘botas’ from centenary ‘soleras’ in their bodegas Misericordia and Carretera de Jerez, averaging 4.5 years of age. The wine is unfined and not stabilized, and only a light filtration is applied to avoid particles floating in the wine. This is their first ‘en rama’ bottling.”
