CHICAGO, Illinois - July 26, 2011 - The ENYE Group announced today new product arrivals which will complement and enhance our existing Latin portfolio. For the first time, the company will begin working with a fantastic fortified wine from DO Jerez: "La Guita" Manzanilla. These are highly recognized brands in Spain with significant market share in each category.
is made from 100% Palomino Fino from Sanlucar in the traditional style. For years, it has been the leading brand in the Spanish market with 26% overall market share and 31% share in the on-trade. It has been aged for more than 3 years in American Oak "botas".
"Without omitting or adding any adjectives to its description, we could accurately say that LA GUITA is a sublime and long wine, elegant and diaphanous, delicate and tender, fragile and distinguished. Lemon golden yellow. Clear and fresh on the nose, aromas indicating a very good biological ageing, crystallized fruit, wild and floral notes, dried fruit (almond). On the palate light, tasty, enveloping, fresh and persistent. Aromatic in the retronasal passage, where the excellent aromas of the nose are reproduced." -Winery Tasting Notes

These are wineries with incredible products and a long tradition and history behind them.
