Comments
This is CAYDSA's young Manzanilla, followed by their slightly older Sanluquena. CAYDSA is actually the cooperative Coop. del Campo Virgen de la Caridad, consisting of some 2,500 growers in the Sanlucar area. It was taken over by Nueva Rumasa and re-named Teresa Rivero, but as the deal was never finalised and Nueva Rumasa hit the rocks, the members were able to get it back. Bajo de guia is a street by the seafront in Sanlucar.
Price
4.66 euros at the bodega - including a carton which shows the old label. Not available in the UK as far as I know.
