History

Bodegas García Jarana was founded in 1930 in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, where the proximity to the Guadalquivir estuary and the Atlantic Ocean produces the unique Atlantic-influenced conditions for biological ageing of Manzanilla. The Jarana Manzanilla is the house's flagship bottling from traditional flor-aged soleras.
