General Information
From the finest pagos of the Jerez region, Balbiana and Miraflores, whose prized white albariza soils grant the Palomino Fino grape remarkable finesse and quality, comes Manzanilla La Gitana Aniversario, a unique wine that celebrates the founding of Bodegas Hidalgo back in 1792.
Only the free-run juice, obtained without applying pressure to the grapes, was used for the production of this manzanilla. Aged in American oak casks through the traditional criaderas and soleras system, masterfully managed by Bodegas Hidalgo, the biological aging process took place under the veil of flor formed by its own yeasts. The sea breeze of Sanlúcar de Barrameda provided the ideal climatic conditions for the successful development of this entire process. Rated 93 points by Parker.

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.
