History
Bodegas Medina was founded in 1911 in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, where the proximity to the Atlantic and the Guadalquivir estuary produces the unique conditions for Manzanilla ageing. The Manzanilla Medina is a traditional production from old flor-covered soleras in the Sanlúcar coastal climate.
