Bodega Miguel Guerra

Save to my lists

About the winery

A family of vine growers since 1850. Miguel Guerra Virtués started out selling pine firewood from a warehouse on Calle de la Plaza, alternating it with the harvest, until in 1940 he bought the bodega on Calle Mendaro, built in 1880, which is still the house. That warehouse gave his fino its name: the palillos were the pine stakes used in the vineyard. It was the first house in Chiclana to bottle a fino, and Palillo has been bottled since 1943.

A sweet, velvety Cream built on the house Oloroso.

Fino Palillo

The Fino that gave the house its name: the palillos were the pine stakes of the vineyard, and it was the first to be bottled in Chiclana.

Moscatel Oro

A golden Moscatel from the Chiclana coast, floral and just sweet enough.

Bodegas F.J. Ruiz

Since 1972

Diego Ruiz Aragón set it up in 1972 almost as a hobby, with the wines of two Chiclana bodegas that were closing down. His son Fernando gave it commercial push from 1988, and today the house lives on its moscatels — El Dorado, El Viejo Dorado and a gran reserva — on the fino La Parra and the cream El Abuelo Fernando. It sells over the counter and shows the bodega with a tasting of Chiclana produce.
