Diatomists
Antonio Morenés, George Byrne and Thomas De Wangen
Andalucía, Jerez
Diatomists is for certain one of the most recent additions to the world of Jerez. A project determined to challenge the status quo of the region by demonstrating that excellence in Sherry has to start in the vineyard. While more commercial sherry brands put most of their efforts into their soleras and criaderas systems, Diatomists is keen on demonstrating —just like in the old old days of Jerez—that exceptional soils can make a big difference in the bottle.
Founded by three friends from the wine trade (Antonio, George and Thomas), the name of the winery comes from the minuscule single cell algae that create complex glass shells around themselves. Over five million years ago the region of Jerez was underwater and inundated by these most unique fossils that can still be be found throughout the white chalky soils. These ancient shells, of course, are one of the reasons why Jerez's soils are so complex and have no equal in the world of wine.
The project currently bottles five different Sherries that cover the sherry range: from a Fino and a Manzanilla to an Oloroso, Amontillado, Cream and a Pedro Ximénez. The job of the three friends can be described as that of 'hound dogs' that not only select excellent casks in the wineries of the region, but that can also trace back the wine to a specific area or pago (think of the next Equipo Navazos).
