It consists of three aging sheds (Bodega de Colóm, Bodega de Cabral and Bodega de Sarnilla) that are distributed around a beautiful central Andalusian patio. Until 1998, the winery was exclusively dedicated to the store of wine, being from that year, after certain reforms operated in the Regulation of the Denomination of Origin, when the marketing of its own bottled wines begins, under the brand " The Cigarrera ". Protected by the Designations of Origin "Jerez-Xérès-Sherry" and "Manzanilla de Sanlúcar de Barrameda", "La Cigarrera" is a Crianza and Expedition winery where the traditional norms used during the process of aging and aging of its wines are applied strictly.

Manzanilla ‘La Cigarrera’ - 100% Palamino Fino. A Manzanilla Fina, averaging four to five years in age, having been matured in a solera of eight scales. The specific climatic conditions of this small coastal town are responsible for a higher humidity and cooler, more constant temperatures than those found in inland bodegas, which contributes to a higher yield of flor. The thicker layer of flor protects the wine even more from air contact, resulting in a slightly lighter variety of Fino, containing virtually no glycerol and combining dry, saline notes with a fresh, zesty liveliness. Manzanilla typically displays more coastal aromas than a Fino, like seaspray, salt or even iodine.
