Producer Information

The Barbadillo family are one of the key players in the Sherry trade. From their base in the coastal city of Sanlucar de Barrameda, at the very southwest tip of Spain, the family have forged a reputation as one of the biggest and best Sherry producers.Barbadillo was founded by Don Beningo and Don Manuel Barbadillo in 1821. It was Don Beningos fortune, acquired through his business enterprises in Mexico, that allowed the family to purchase their first Bodega, the Bodega del Toro, near the Castillo de San Diego, in the heart of Sanlucars old high town. A vitally important location for maturing Sherry, the high town occupies the ridge of a hill overlooking the rest of Sanlucar, and the Atlantic Ocean. Its height gives unbeatable access to winds that blow in from the sea. This allows the Bodegas with their high ceilings and classic huge circular windows to regulate their temperature and capture moisture essential for propagating flor, a layer of yeast cells that float on the surface of the wine inside the casks. It is flor that gives Manzanilla its character and instantly recognisable saline flavour.
