Sorry for the shoddy label on this one, there is a bit of string that goes under the label for some reason. Anyway, this is a very popular manzanilla in Spain, either that or the people who market it are very good, as it has been in the mini bar of just about every hotel I have stayed at in Spain. Kind of like the Gideon bible, but drinkable.
To be honest, I'm not a big fan of this wine, but I can appreciate the style. Perhaps it is a bit old whenever I drink it, but I wouldn't know as the bottling date is not stamped on the back (La Goya has it).
Very pale straw in colour, the nose has candle wax, a kind of citrus wiff and what can only be described as a flor character. In the mouth it is quite fresh, if a little sharp, but nice and tangy. Almonds, candle wax and lemon make up the bulk of the flavours on the palate. It has a nice long finish that leaves you with a tart, grape tang. Very good and at $10 for a stubbie, its well worth putting in your lunch box for some midday tapas in the park. 87 Pts.

Hi Dave, I was looking for where I can buy La Guita online and came across your blog. The string that goes under the label has a purpose. In Sevilla, during the Feria Abril (April Fair), and possibly during whatever special occasions that may arise, you take the string and make a wish. You tie it to your wrist and watch, and wear it until it falls off naturally. Your wish will come true. That is what my friend in Sevilla told me. I think she wasn’t kidding. So, it has a poetic and even romantic purpose. I thought it was a nice little fact that I wanted to pass along.
Cheers,
Wena
