Producer Information

La Guita is basically the only wine produced at the bodegas Hijos de Rainera Prez Marn in Sanlcar de Barrameda (part of the Grupo Estvez). The name comes from the old Andalucian slang guita meaning cash (its founder was renowned for wanting to be paid in cash). The more common meaning though is string (hence guitar), highlighted by the fact that every bottle has a string around its neck. La Guita used to be released as an older manzanilla pasada (around 12 years) produced by a single vineyard (until 1972), but due to this popularity it needed to be a little more flexible and younger (believed to be around 4,5 years). La Guita was the first brand to clearly state the bottling date on their bottles, which is funny because I think its one of the few widely available Manzanilla that age quite well in bottle in my experience.
