Expert Opinion
In the press...
Matthew Jukes - Weekend, Daily Mail 13/04/2013"My favourite Manzanilla Sherry of all - the palest and driest of all styles - this phenomenal aperitif style of wine is the ultimate pick me up and if you have yet to be gripped by the Sherry scene then this is the perfect starting point. Crisp and citrusy, refreshing and vital, served ice cold this is one fo the finest value wines in the world."
Background
History
Bodegas Hidalgo is the definitive Manzanilla house, established in 1792 and now thriving under the sixth generation of the founding family. It is one of the few family owned bodegas left. ‘La Gitana’ Manzanilla is one of Spain’s oldest wine brands and today one of the country's most popular. Its dry, fresh style is the perfect foil for the seafood tapas in the seaside town of Sanlucar de Barrameda.

Regional info
Hidalgo have occupied the same bodega in the seaside town of Sanlucar de Barrameda since 1792. It is the closest to the sea, ensuring that the bodega is cooled by a breeze in the hot summer months, which helps preserve the freshness of hundreds of barrels of Manzanilla, protected from oxidation by a layer of yeast "flor". Hidalgo are unusual in the sherry region for owning many of their own vineyards to ensure that top quality Palomino Fino grapes are delivered from the chalky "albariza" soils.

It is good

Yes, dry, crisp, fresh as a good manzanilla should be. This is very nice and was probably my favourite manzanilla until I discovered Solear which is that bit smoother and nicer.

My wife and I have visited Sanlúcar de Barrameda, where this fine Manzanilla is made. We have tried many Manzanillas, but this is our favourite. It is as dry as a bone, causing your cheeks to implode, and we love it. All I can say is that you may need to reach 'a certain age' before you can appreciate the excellent qualities of this wine, which you should always serve chilled (as they do in Spain) and is perfect to drink with olives, or as an apéritif. We know this wine is good because when we poured a glass for our daughter (in her 20s) she thought it tasted 'horrible'.

This is a classy manzanilla, fresh and crisp too; an absoliutely prefect aperitif especially on a sunny , warm day. It doesn't get much better than that.

Serve slightly chilled, this is a crisp, nutty and slightly salty dry sherry. This wine is the ideal aperatif, served with olives, almonds or tapas.
