Covers the wineries on the Consejo Regulador's register and those working outside it, inside and beyond the Marco. What's the difference

Why does each winery have a colour of its own?

The cards carry no photographs, but an illustration drawn for this site: its palette evokes the landscape each house comes from. It is a note of colour, not a classification — the designation, the town and the size are all spelled out on the labels of every card.

Chiclana de la Frontera

Bodega Miguel Guerra

Since 1850

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.

Chiclana de la Frontera

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.
