The reputation — the story that sells at the table
Hidalgo La Gitana is the Manzanilla benchmark — La Gitana has defined the category. Napoleon Amontillado is excellent. Good BC availability.
Practice
Hidalgo La Gitana in Sanlucar de Barrameda is the reference producer for Manzanilla — the most delicate and saline of all Sherries. La Gitana (The Gypsy) is the most iconic Manzanilla brand in Spain and has defined the category for generations. Their bodegas are in Sanlucar, where the flor (yeast film) grows thicker and more continuously than in Jerez — imparting the unique saline, chamomile character that distinguishes Manzanilla from Fino.
