En rama sherry is one of the most exciting recent developments in the sherry industry. Essentially rama means "branch" and "en rama" would be translated "as on the vine" / "from the branch" or figuratively: "raw." That’s exactly what it is: raw sherry, in its natural state, straight from the cask (or rather: the closest possible to straight from the cask). It only applies to biologically aged sherries.
La Guita is aged in two systems. In the bodega ‘Pago Sanlúcar Viejo’ there’s a solera system of 5 criaderas + solera row. In the bodega of the Calle Misericordia there are 6 criaderas + solera row. This new Manzanilla Pasada En Rama La Guita is drawn from both soleras. It is twice the age of the regular version: around 10 years.
