Save to my lists

This house no longer makes wine or opens its doors.

Its page stays because people still look for it by name.

What remains of it lives on at: Bodegas Alonso, Bodegas Barrero, Bodegas Yuste

About the winery

A Sanlúcar house on Calle Trasbolsa, founded in 1860 and known for its Manzanilla Aurora, named after the wife of Pedro Romero Villarreal. It went into insolvency proceedings in 2010 and closed in 2014; its brands, its old wines and its bodegas were divided between Yuste, Alonso and Barrero.

Aurora Ambrosse ran the house between 1911 and 1921. Over the years it bought Gaspar Florido and Bodegas Méndez. In the liquidation Yuste took the Aurora, Pedro I and Punto Azul brands; Alonso was set up to buy its oxidatively aged wines along with their butts, and in 2019 Barrero bought its two bodegas on Trasbolsa.

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.
