Barbadillo barrels

It's not possible to understand the history of manzanilla or of Sanlúcar de Barrameda without knowing about Barbadillo. The winery was established in 1821, when it bottled its first manzanilla, and it has continued to develop ever since. It's a piece of living history that has constantly looked to the future, launching successful wines such as the famous Castillo de San Diego, created in 1975 and probably one of Spain's best-selling white wines. But above all, Barbadillo is the very soul of the land of white albariza soil and palomino grapes, looking out over the Guadalquivir river and creating unique wines.

It all began with the original Bodega del Toro, a typically Andalusian building, set around an Andalusian courtyard with a well in the center and surrounded by 4 winery buildings, with its own distinctive design and style. Today it has around 500 hectares and over 65,000 casks spread throughout 17 wineries in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Most of them are in remarkable buildings scattered around the Barrio Alto (high district), housing authentic jewels of the wine industry such as the Reliquias and wines with V.O.R.S status.
