History
Sangre y Trabajadero is one of the named vineyards (pagos) in the Jerez wine-growing area, referenced in the name of this Gutiérrez Colosía Oloroso. The evocative name (Blood and Toil) captures the traditional stoicism of the Jerez viticulture in the hot Andalusian summer. The wine is produced exclusively from Palomino Fino grapes grown on the albariza soils of the pago.
