Description
Bodegas Williams & Humbert have been producing and ageing Sherries and Brandy de Jerez since 1877. The bodega complex, winner of the National Architectural Award and part of the Historical Heritage of Andalusia, is a magnificent example of a well-balanced combination between architectural design and industrial engineering, precedent of contemporary Signature Architectural Design. A harmonious complex of buildings and gardens in a privileged setting of over 180,000m2.
Over 30 million litres of sherries and brandies rest in 60,000 American oak casks in the traditional Criaderas and Soleras ageing system. Part of the bodega’s history is on display in the famous “Sala de Añadas” vintage room, with the largest and oldest collection of wines certified by the Regulating Council, dating from 1920 to the present day.
Williams & Humbert link the essence of their wines to the symbols of the Jerez region, offering visitors an evocative equestrian exhibition of purebred Spanish horses. Horse carriages, equestrian facilities and a virtual diorama are other added attractions to the guided tour. The “Salón Gran Duque de Alba” hosts “The Sherry Museum” displaying tools and equipment used for treading grapes, laboratory instruments, presses, pumps, etc… unique original pieces in a magnificent state of conservation dating back to the eighteenth century. Seventeen different species of birds inhabit the exterior gardens, originating from the five continents.
