Grupo Estévez has
celebrated the official launch of its new Maximum Brandy 100% Jerez. For some years the firm has been keen
that both fortifying spirit and brandy should come from Jerez rather than La
Mancha, and this new brandy comes from their own 800 hectares of vineyards and
is 100% Palomino. The idea is to make a brandy which faithfully reflects the character
of the vineyards of Jerez. It takes 5 kilos of grapes to make just one litre
and the spirit, based on the 2014 vintage, is aged in butts seasoned with the
company’s finest Oloroso. It is released under the brand Marqués del Real
Tesoro and is available now in 50cl bottles.
Hot on the heels of
the 50th anniversary of Covijerez comes the 40th anniversary of the cooperative
in Trebujena known as Albarizas. This coop, founded in 1977, has some 220 members with a total of 710
hectares producing 2.1 million litres, and supplies grapes to Williams and
Humbert among other bodegas. In celebration of the anniversary, and for the
first time, they are bottling their own wine, a range of Fino, Amontillado,
Oloroso, young white table wine and mosto. A despacho de vinos will open on 4th
December at the coop in the calle Jerez, Trebujena, for the sale of these
wines. There is a total of 10,000 bottles.
