Sherry bodegas in Jerez de la Frontera
Just like planting mangoes, the quality of grapes is influenced by the soil in which they grow. In Jerez, soil quality is very conducive for planting Palamino grapes, the country’s best grape variety.
The soil here, a tinge of loam and clay is known as “albariza”.
Spain is known for its wine cellars, in fact, one has yet to find a town without one. One of these towns with the best wine cellars is Jerez.
Most of its cellars had the stamp of approval of famous connoisseurs like Gonzales Byass, Pedro Domecq and Sandeman. These British wine experts had cellars named after them.
You can better appreciate your trip to the bodegas through guided tours. Available on weekdays, these are usually free of charge, courtesy of the bodegas, with a sampling of their different wines - “on the house, too!”
Gonzalez Byass Wine Cellar - No less than Gustav Eiffel, the man behind Eiffel Tower, designed this bodega considered as the largest. Its dome is equally imposing.
Pedro Domecq Wine Cellar - With arches reminiscent of Mezquita, found in Cordoba, this is also a large bodega.
Other bodegas which are smaller but of equally good reputation are William and Humbert Wine Cellars, Sandeman Wine Cellar, Wisdom and Walker Wine Cellar and Harvey’s Bodega.
