The En Rama release takes La Gitana to its logical extreme: the same wine, the same vineyards, the same solera, but bottled without filtration or fining, directly from the barrel. Released seasonally, with each bottling reflecting the state of the flor at a specific moment in the year — spring sacas tend to show the most vivid character, when the flor is at its thickest.
The nose is more intense and complex than the standard La Gitana: the saline and chamomile notes are amplified, the yeasty character more pronounced, and there is an almost briny quality that recalls the Atlantic on a cold day. The palate is broader, with greater weight and texture, and the finish is longer and more complex. Drink within months of bottling, very cold, in a large glass. One of the finest en rama releases produced anywhere in Sanlúcar.

Solear En Rama is one of the founding documents of the modern en rama movement. Barbadillo was the first bodega to release a Manzanilla in unfiltered form — beginning in 1999 with Solear — and in doing so established a template that has since been adopted across the entire region. Released four times a year as seasonal sacas, each edition reflects the state of the flor at a specific moment: winter, spring, summer and autumn, each with its own character and intensity.
The wine is bottled as a Manzanilla Pasada, around eight to nine years old, drawn from the best barrels in the Solear system. En rama means no fining, no filtration, no cold stabilisation: the wine as it exists in the barrel, transferred directly to the bottle. The nose is richer and more complex than the standard Solear — warm hay, dried chamomile, lemon peel, a deeper saline register and the low golden glow of aged flor. The palate has a broader, more textural presence, with greater length and depth. An essential reference point for the Manzanilla category.
