BODEGAS
HIDALGO LA GITANA
Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Spain
Bodegas Hidalgo la Gitana was founded in 1792 and since then the company has passed from father to son.
Today it is one of very few wine companies to be owned and controlled by the family and run by the eighth generation in direct line of the founder.
“The operations of Hidalgo – La Gitana are old-fashioned in a positive way, in times when most other bodegas have been modernized. First of all, it is a true family business and one of very few remaining independent. Secondly, it still relies on its own vineyards in two of the best pagos: Balbaína – in between the sea and Jerez – and Miraflores, the great Sanlúcar vineyard. They own about 170 hectares in total – all organically farmed.”
