About the winery

Ramiro Ibáñez's "albarizatorio" in Bajo de Guía: single-pago vinos de pasto, unfortified and without a DO, made to explain the soils of Sanlúcar.

An oenologist and scholar of the history of the Marco's vineyards, Ramiro Ibáñez works out of two small warehouses beside the mouth of the Guadalquivir. His wines — the UBE range, after the old local word for grape — bottle Palomino from specific pagos of Sanlúcar with no fortification and no designation of origin, a category the current rulebooks do not provide for. He is one of the central voices in recovering the region's winemaking memory and a member of Territorio Albariza.

Wineries that bottle as "Vino de España", outside the Consejo Regulador's DOs and the Cádiz PGI. This is not a shortcoming: several Marco projects deliberately give up that cover so they can make wines — vinos de pasto, unfortified, single-pago — that the current rulebooks do not allow for.

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.
