THE WINE:
Dedicated to Paco Yuste's late mother Caridad (‘Kika’). Solera is located at historic Bodega Santa
Ana in Sanlúcar’s Barrio Bajo, the Yuste residence. La Kika is over twelve years old, concentrated
and green-gold, clinging to freshness. Individual botas are selected upon order for bottling directly
by hand.
THE WINERY:
Since 1991, Sanlúcar de Barrameda almacenista Francisco (Paco) Yuste has pursued the objective of
producing Manzanilla up to its highest historic standards. Upon rescue and restoration of venerable,
endangered soleras and bodegas in Sanlúcar’s emblematic Barrio Alto and Barrio Bajo districts,
classic Manzanillas and Sherries are produced. Yuste quality starts in the vineyard with the fabulous
46-hectare Viña La Alamedilla estate in the Jerez pago of Carrascal. Long term sources in El Puerto
de Santa María’s Balbaína and Sanlúcar’s Miraflores contribute in equal parts to combine freshness
and minerality with ample body. New wines arrive to Bodega Miraflores. Just 800 meters from the
Guadalquivir estuary, Miraflores offers ideal conditions for sobretablas selection and the first stages
of Manzanilla development.
