Wine information:
Herederos de Argüeso was founded by Mr. Leon de Argüeso y Argüeso in 1822. The business was massively expanded in 1905, constituting new wineries around the original core of the Bodega San Jose in Sanlucar de Barrameda. Gradually, a series of new buildings were added to complete the winery. Today Argüeso has 26,000 square meters of covered cellar areas and now has 25 employees - it recognised by many as the best producer of sherry in Sanlucar de Barrameda. This Manzanilla from Sanlúcar de Barrameda is made from 100% Palamino grapes and is aged for over 60 months. It is a very pale, golden straw colour. It is very clean on the palate with a smooth and elegant aftertaste with a slight salty tang. Manzanilla is a wine which goes well with ham, cheese and fish, but where it matched extremely well with shellfish, especially the Sanlúcar prawn, with which it combines perfectly.
