This tipple is decadent and sweet, and pairs white Huelvan wine with Seville bitter oranges. While this fruit is too sour to eat alone, the citrus flavor infuses the wine perfectly.

During the 19th century, several wineries were wiped out by a grape infestation, however, larger estates managed to survive this catastrophe and continued the culture.
