Tasting Notes

Bright pale straw in color, it offers delicate floral notes, sea-spray freshness, and a pronounced saline edge. The palate is smooth and lightly structured, with fine minerality, brisk acidity, and a clean dry finish.

Food Paring

Pour this manzanilla with shellfish, lean fish, olives, almonds, or jamón for a bright and savory aperitif moment. Its saline freshness also makes it a beautiful match for tapas and simple seafood dishes served well chilled.

Professional Reviews

94 James Suckling

"Unique aromas of dried apples, lemon blossom, almonds and cream. Hints of seaweed. Full-bodied, yet focused and tight with lively acidity and a beautifully composed finish of fruit and flavor. Always a winner here. Screw cap."

92 Wilfred Wong

"The Hijos de Rainera Perez Marin Manzanilla La Guita is focused and expressive. TASTING NOTES: This offers aromas and flavors of brine, saltiness, slight nuttiness, and earthiness. Serve it with grilled oysters." (Tasted: November 23, 2022, San Francisco, CA)

91 Wine Spectator

"Distinctive, with verbena and tarragon notes leading the way, followed by lemon pith and jicama flavors. Flashes of gooseberry and talc run through the finish. Bottled June 2016.
