News from Jerez 15.6.12

To commemorate  the bicentenary of the 1812 Constitution of Cadiz , "la Pepa", the Consejo Regulador, the provincial government and the consortium for the commemoration of La Pepa have released a limited edition of Sherries labelled with a reproduction of a picture of the Cadiz countryside from the original printing of the Constitution.
There are five wines: Fino, Oloroso, Manzanilla, Cream and PX, and only 1000 bottles of each. They were specially selected by five of the region's most representative bodegas: Luis Caballero, Delgado and Zuleta, Barbadillo, Williams and Humbert and Lustau. Unfortunately, the wines will only be available to public institutions or local ones linked to La Pepa celebrations, or bodegas.



Two further embargoes have been placed on the assets of Jose Maria Ruiz Mateos and his family, this time 99 million Euros for Bodegas Garvey and 6 million Euros for Union de Grandes Bodegas, a distribution firm.
