| Manzanilla – La Gitana |

 |
| Manzanilla en Rama – La Gitana |

| Manzanilla Pasada ‘Pastrana’ NV |
| To the southeast of Sanlúcar lies a chalk dune overlooking the Atlantic which offers the perfect conditions for ripening the Palomino grape and for production of the region's finest dry wines. This is Miraflores, the Grand Cru of Jerez Superior. Hidalgo's ancestral Pastrana site, a monopole holding, is at the heart of Miraflores. Pastrana contributes the length and finesse, perhaps even the soul, in all of Hidalgo's magnificent wines, and a decision was taken some years back to market small quantities of the most exemplary Manzanilla from this superlative vineyard on its own. Rich gold color, complex with layers of gold and green at the rim. Classic sea spray nose and palate but with an entirely new dimension of rich creaminess rounding out an unforgettable experience. 15% ABV. |

| Amontillado ‘Napoleón’ NV |

 |
| Oloroso – Faraón |
| Oxidative aging for 30years produces a dark woody color with aromas of honey, caramel, walnut and hints of bitter chocolate. 18% ABV. |

 |
| Palo Cortado – Wellington 20 Years |

| "Las 30 del Cuadrado" 2015 |
| "Las 30 del Cuadrado" is a homage to a unique 30 acre plot of 70 year old palomino vines, inside “El Cuadrado”, located in the sought-after district of Balbaina Alta. The vinification process is as unique as the vineyard. Shortly after a gentle press, the wine is fermented in neutral Sherry casks, previously used for Manzanilla Pasada, and left in contact with fine lees for 6 months. Only 5,000 bottles are produce. A complex an elegant wine in the style prior to the adoption of the Solera system. Pale yellow color, aromas of limestone and floral notes, showing the pure expression of chalky soil. Full of character, this wine is creamy on the palate, with a surprising touch of saltiness and a persistent finish. 12.5% ABV. |
