The brand "La Guita" originates from an anecdote by its founder, Domingo Pérez Marín. Whenever somebody approached him to buy "manzanilla" from the ageing winery, he always asked: "Do you have "guita"?, referring to whether the buyer had brought any money. Thus, over the passing of time, people started to call the ageing winery "La Guita". In 1908, to reaffirm the brand, it was included in the registry and a piece of twine was added to each bottle.
