Bodegas Barbadillo was founded in 1821 in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. For two hundred years the family has been devoted to making quality wine with respect for tradition and a passion for innovation. This enduring commitment has earned Barbadillo its place as the foremost specialist in all sherry styles. With their origins in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, we are excited to introduce their range of exceptional Manzanillas. Their innovative approach is the future of this region, evolving and creating new styles to suit every palate. In their seventh generation of wine production the family are still looking at the future.

Total casks: 2.349 Type of cask: Typical Jerez bota made fron American oak Production process: This is a blended wine, carefully made from a combination of wines that have been subject to biological and oxidative ageing. After the harvest, the fermented Palomino wine is agein or 18% for oxidative ageing; this depends upon the body of the wine. Biological ageing takes place under a film of flor yeast during a phase known as sobretablas. Oxidative ageing is a result of the action of oxygen inside old American oak sherry cask and the traditional, yet dynamic system of criaderas and soleras. Oxidative ageing is the predominat process in the production of this wine and consequently defines its character.
