García de la Jara

Save to my lists

About the winery

A family vineyard a stone’s throw from La Jara beach in Sanlúcar, where the grandchildren of Paco García, a farmer from the area, make what the house presents as the first red wine of Sanlúcar: organic Petit Verdot, Tannat and Tintilla de Rota. They also make a white from Balbaína Palomino fermented in amphora.

The name is a tribute to their grandfather. Carmen, Rocío and Martín, the youngest of the family, grafted Tintilla de Rota and Tannat onto old Moscatel vines and planted Petit Verdot. They pick by hand at night, ferment with native yeasts and bottle without fining or filtering; they recently started making the wine on the estate itself.

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.
