And, so you won't be left wanting more, enjoy a full tasting menu accompanied by wines from the winery. Yes, it could be the perfect plan.

What we will do

The guide will meet us 5 minutes before the reservation time at the winery located in Chiclana de la Frontera, Cádiz, in the heart of the Jerez-Xérèz-Sherry Denomination of Origin.

We will start with an introduction about the area, marked by the proximity of the Atlantic. While tasting a welcome drink, we will take a walk through an experimental vineyard, where we will learn about the particularities of viticulture in the Marco de Jerez and the stages of cultivation.

Afterwards, we will enter the winery through the winemaking area to discover the first stages of the process: destemming, pressing and fermentation. We will also see the bottling area from the outside, before moving on to the Fino wine solera and the oxidative ageing cellar.

We will learn about biological ageing and the system of criaderas and soleras, while tasting 5 premium D. O. Jerez-Xérèz-Sherry wines at the foot of the cask:

• Fino Granero en Rama, delicate and light.
• Amontillado Muy Viejo Manuel Aragón, elegant and powerful.
• Palo Cortado Muy Viejo Manuel Aragón, round, deep and voluminous.
• Oloroso Muy Viejo Manuel Aragón, a tasty and well-structured wine.
• Pedro Ximénez Muy Viejo Manuel Aragón, which is presented as a dessert in itself.

All of them wines with scores of up to 99 points in the Peñín and Robert Parker guides, the last two with the Bacchus Gold 2024 medal awarded by the Spanish Tasters Union. Each wine will be paired with a tapa that enhances aromas and flavours: natural mussels, ham, cheese, almonds or dark chocolate.

To conclude a rounded enogastronomic experience, we will be able to enjoy a tasting menu: a variety of starters, a choice of main course, homemade dessert and coffee. All accompanied, of course, by a selection of Manuel Aragón wines.

The experience will have a total duration of approximately 4 hours, depending on the time dedicated to the meal.
