About the winery

A winery run by 'mayetos' (smallholder winegrowers) bottling the terroir of the Sherry Region from its own vineyards in Sanlúcar and Jerez.

Started in 1980 by Francisco Blanco Martínez as an artisanal must producer, the family gradually bought vineyards across the Sherry Region. In 1997 it moved to the El Hornillo estate, one of the highest points in Sanlúcar, and in 2005 his sons José and Francisco Blanco bottled their first own Manzanilla. They farm 28 hectares of albariza across the Callejuela, El Hornillo, Macharnudo and Añina pagos.

Vineyard origin

Designations of origin

DO Jerez-Xérès-Sherry · Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda

View wineries →

The designation of origin for the fortified wines of the Marco: fino, manzanilla, amontillado, palo cortado, oloroso, Pedro Ximénez, moscatel and cream. It covers ageing under flor and the criaderas y soleras system, and only wineries registered with the Consejo Regulador may use it.

Wines

Amontillado La Casilla

Amontillado Palomino Fino Averaging twenty to twenty-five years

An Amontillado averaging twenty to twenty-five years, bottled in half-bottles and in runs of five hundred.

La Choza de Macharnudo

Vino de pasto Palomino Fino Seven months under flor, unfortified

The same gesture in Macharnudo: Palomino from one named vineyard, with no added alcohol and just enough flor to sharpen it.

Las Mercedes

Vino de pasto Palomino Fino Seven months under flor, unfortified

Unfortified Palomino from a single vineyard in the Añina pago, at eighty-three metres, with seven months under flor.

Manzanilla Pasada Blanquito

Manzanilla Palomino Fino Around eight years under flor

A Manzanilla Pasada of around eight years: the flor begins to give way and the oxidative base shows beneath.

Quinario

Palo Cortado Palomino Fino Oxidative ageing in criaderas and soleras

The house Palo Cortado: the sharp nose of an Amontillado over the broad body of an Oloroso.

Bodegas Barrero

Since 1798

The house that has been picking up what Sanlúcar let fall. It starts in 1798 with the Marquis of Casa Arizón's San Pedro bodega; in 1986 José Luis Barrero bought the Miguel Sánchez Ayala firm outright, and in 2019 the two Pedro Romero buildings. That makes 8,300 square metres of bodega in the Barrio Bajo, a step from the beach, and it has recently opened to visitors.

Bodegas Alonso

The Asencio brothers set this house up so that what was left of three extinguished Sanlúcar bodegas would not be lost: Pedro Romero, Gaspar Florido and Fernando Méndez. They keep their very old amontillados, olorosos and palos cortados — the Ánsar Real butts are over a century old — and since 2017 have released a manzanilla of their own, Velo Flor, backed by thirteen hectares in Balbaína and Miraflores.
