Bodegas Hidalgo La Gitana

La Gitana Sherry is produced by Bodegas Hidalgo. Hidalgo is a long-established bodega in Sanlúcar, with its origins in the 18th Century. The Hidalgo family moved from northern Spain to Andalucía at that time and established a salina for the production of salt.

The family entered the sherry business in 1792, when José Pantaleón Hidalgo acquired a bodega from his father-in-law. Since that time, the business has remained a family concern, passed through six generations. Keeping the operation small has allowed the family to maintain control and to favour the production of quality wines over quantity.  

They occupy the same premises in the centre of Sanlúcar de Barrameda that they did two centuries ago, and own over 200 hectares of vineyards which include some ancient vines, up to eighty years old.
