History
Obregón produces both a Fino (under the Jerez DO) and a Manzanilla (under the Sanlúcar DO), reflecting the dual Atlantic-town tradition of El Puerto bodegas that historically also produced Sanlúcar-classified wines. The Manzanilla is the lighter, more saline expression of the biological ageing tradition.
- 1890 — Manzanilla solera established at Bodegas Obregón
