Hidalgo la Gitana es una bodega familiar fundada en 1792, tras cinco generaciones, su producto estrella es sin duda su manzanilla reconocida nacional e internacinalmente. Su manzanilla en rama hecha "de la bota a la copa", nos transmite toda la pureza de la manzanilla y los matices característicos de esta bodega: fresca, delicada nos acaricia con sus notas marinas.
Notas de crianza, complejo, elegante, aromas a especias y notas salinas. En boca es equilibrado, con notas especiadas, de crianza y ligeramente amargoso.
"This is a new bottling of their NV La Gitana Manzanilla en Rama marked as Saca de Primavera 2017 on its back label (the spring 2017 bottling). With an average of six years under flor, it has a deep golden color and an intense nose followed by a sharp palate, chiseled by the effect of the yeasts. It's a selection of the 35 800-liter oak barrels that compose the La Guita solera. They do two bottlings per year, one in spring and another one in autumn. In spring the wines tend to be more aromatic, open and showy. It has the chalky minerality from the albariza soils. 12,000 bottles produced."
