Producer >
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.
Viticulture >
Bodegas Barbadillo began life nearly 200 years ago when Don Benigno Barbadillo purchased an
18th century bodega in the ‘Barrio Alto, the historic old quarter of Sanlucar de Barrameda.
This beautiful bodega is formed by four buildings joined to make a square, forming a pretty tree lined
cobbled courtyard within. Thus its original name, Bodega del Cuadro (the Square). Each of these for
buildings has a name: San Joaquin, San Antonio, La Pastora, and Trinidad.
Winemaking >
The Trinidad bodega is the one whose windows face the sea and is therefore open to the Sanlucar
sea breeze that predominates in the town. This is the secret behind a good Manzanilla. It is this wind,
with its humidity and equable temperature which allows a floating layer of yeast, ‘la flor’ to grow
abundantly on the surface of the wine to create a Manzanilla
