To talk about sherry wine is to talk about history, culture and tradition. The authentic sherry wine is that produced in the triangle of land whose points are formed by the three towns of Jerez de la Frontera, Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda, all situated in western Andalusia in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. This triangle is known as the “Marco de Jerez”.

This area is bordered by the rivers Guadalquivir on the north, Guadalete on the south, and meets the Atlantic Ocean in an extensive coastline called the “Costa del Sherry”. According to the distinguished Professor Oliver Asín, this name originates from the word "Sherrysh" which was the old name for the town of Jerez de la Frontera and which appeared on the famous map made by the geographer El Edvisi as early as 1,100.

This triangle is characterised by a white soil that is very rich in calcium carbonates: the "Albariza", soil, which has the ability to absorb tremendous amounts of winter rains, and then seal its surface to sustain the vines through the hot, dry summer. The best soils are classified as “Albariza Superior”. and can usually be found on heights and smooth hillocks. In addition to the mild breeze, another essential factor for the ageing of wine is the sea breeze, that is, the air and humidity of the Atlantic, which enables the production in such characteristic wines as Fino in Jerez and Manzanilla in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, of a biological-type of ageing where a layer of yeasts known as “Flor". develop on the surface of the wine.

Three varieties of grapes are used to obtain must or raw material: Palomino (Palomino Fino in Sanlúcar) for dry wines and Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel for sweet wines.

Before reaching your hands, Sherry Wines are aged for many years in the casks of our Wine cellars using a traditional and unique method known as the Sistema de Criaderas y Solera. The resulting Sherries are true enological gems.

This traditional and unique system is also used for ageing Brandy de Jerez and Vinagre de Jerez.
