Craftsmanship and Provenance - Tradition and Terroir
Rainera Pérez Marín was founded in 1852 and has since become prominent in the production of manzanilla. Located in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, the vineyards benefit from the unique microclimate of the Atlantic coast. The grapes, mainly Palomino Fino, are carefully selected and processed. 'La Guita' is bottled several times a year to ensure maximum freshness, contributing to its distinctive character and quality.
