Creators' opinion
Las 30 del Cuadrado Azul es un vino de color color ámbar intenso gracias al tiempo que ha permanecido en barrica. De perfil oxidativo, es cremoso y ofrece notas de roble que recuerdan a un Oloroso joven. Sorprende con un toque salado y su gran recuerdo final.
The winery
The uniqueness of Spanish biologically aged wines is appreciated and admired worldwide. La Gitana is a clear example of winemaking tradition and contemporary flavors that continue to thrive, captivating and delighting enthusiasts. Bodegas Hidalgo-La Gitana boasts being one of the oldest wineries in the Jerez region. At the beginning of the 18th century, the pioneer of the lineage that would become one of the most important winemaking families in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, the Hidalgos, set foot in these lands. Since 1972, the family has been dedicated to the production of manzanilla, earning a well-deserved reputation as quality producers by the early 19th century. Since then, the winemaking method has not changed: grapes from their own vineyard, artisanal harvests, vinification through the solera and criaderas system, and manual rackings.
