WINE MAKING PROCESS
La Guita Manzanilla is produced from 100% Palomino Fino grapes harvested in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Following fermentation, the wine is fortified to 15% ABV. It then undergoes aging in American oak butts using the traditional criaderas and soleras system for more than four years, maintained under a veil of flor yeast. The wine is bottled six times annually to ensure freshness. The solera system is extensive, comprising approximately 15,000 to 20,000 butts.
