BODEGAS MIGUEL DOMECQ

ORIGINALLY FROM FRANCE, THE DOMECQ FAMILY HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE WINE BUSINESS SINCE 1730. FOR GENERATIONS, THEY HAVE CONTRIBUTED THEIR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT NEW WINEGROWING AND WINEMAKING TECHNIQUES. MIGUEL DOMECQ IS A SEVENTH-GENERATION MEMBER OF THE FAMILY SAGA DEVOTED TO THE WINE BUSINESS. IT HAS NOW BECOME A PERSONAL PROJECT FOR WINEMAKING ON THE TORRECERA FAMILY ESTATE IN JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA (CADIZ) SPAIN. THE TORRECERA ESTATE IS LOCATED IN JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA, PROVINCE OF CADIZ, SPAIN. THE CITY OF CADIZ WAS FOUNDED BY PHOENICIANS SOME 1,000 YEARS B.C. AND WERE KNOWN TO HAVE PLANTED VINEYARDS AND OLIVE TREES. NEAR OUR WINERY, THERE ARE REMAINS OF AN ANCIENT PHOENICIAN SETTLEMENT WITH A WINE PRESS THAT DATES TO THE YEAR 800 B.C., CONSIDERED TO BE THE OLDEST ARCHAEOLOGICAL REMAINS OF A WINERY IN ALL OF WESTERN EUROPE. CONSEQUENTLY THE QUALITY WINES BODEGA MIGUEL DOMECQ PRODUCES REFLECTS THE HERITAGE AND KNOWLEDGE IN WINEMAKING OF PREVIOUS GENERATIONS AND AT THE SAME TIME PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION OF A PROMISING FUTURE FOR THE NEW  STILL WINES FROM JEREZ.

UNDER THIS PHILOSOPHY WE ARE ELABORATING OUTSTANDING STILL WINES FROM NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL GRAPE VARIETIES AND ALSO THE FIRST SPARKLING WINE 100% USING CHARDONNAY GRAPE VARIETY ON ALBARIZA SOIL FOLLOWING THE TRADITIONAL METHOD TECHNIQUE.
