History
Pedro Romero has produced Aurora Manzanilla since the family bodega's founding in 1860. Situated in the Barrio Alto of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, the cellars benefit from proximity to the Atlantic which sustains active flor year-round. Aurora has a reputation as an unfiltered-focused producer, contributing wines to the en rama movement.
