Spain has become a great reference of wines worldwide and as we mentioned above, in the first producer of this, making Spanish wine one of the most consumed, but there are places in our country where they highlight the production of this delicious drink, places like Jerez, the wineries in Jerez dating from the first century BC. So no, this city is certainly not a recent producer of this product.
We can say that what quickly boosted the wineries in Jerez was the wedding of Catherine of Aragon, the firstborn of the Catholic Monarchs, with Arthur of England, first, and then with his brother Henry VIII.
Jerez is located in the province of Cadiz, Andalusia, occupying the 28th place among the most populated in Spain, with a population of no more than 220,000 inhabitants, known for its beautiful lands, full of fertility, also the wineries in Jerez have centuries of history.
The history of wine in Spain is not a recent development
And of course the wineries in Jerez have been a big part of it, not only within Europe, as you will see the discovery of America began to open new markets and with them a flourishing wine business for our country.
In general, the sale of wines made by the wineries in Jerez, were quite good, as it has been a product of the highest quality since its inception, even in countries like India was often hindered by the action of pirates who took the shipments of the fleet to then travel to the UK and sell it in English territory.
This brought its consequences, over time the wineries in Jerez suffered some problems because the high demand for sherry wine soared, causing the English decided to appropriate it, even in a non-peaceful way, this resulted in a fairly strong problem for the trade of the wineries in Jerez, however over the years, this situation stopped. With the passing of time the wineries in Jerez were evolving, changing, becoming more and more sophisticated. However, the quality of their wines continues to be part of their hallmark since their beginnings, something that does not change no matter how many years go by.
The wineries in Jerez began to change from 1820, when they began to build "cathedral cellars" in areas with plenty of air passage, painted white to play with the reflection of the sun, its walls are thick to keep the wine away from the outside while the roof, made of bricks and tiles, protects it from the most intense heat.
Generally structured with high and curved pillars, with the purpose of generating a wide place where freshness runs through the corridors, they are designed with windows to bring them a little closer to the outside, the wineries in Jerez take care of every detail to the maximum, that is why their product is quite special.
To talk about the wineries in Jerez is to talk about history.
To talk about culture, to understand its process, is quite complex because it is almost like a laboratory, mixing the most ancient and natural techniques with science and tradition, which means speaking a language that breaks the barrier of time and respecting tradition.
In Bodegas de Andalucía we offer you a wide variety of sherry wines, enjoy the tradition and enjoy the best flavors of our history with us.
