"These are mostly still wines, with minimal intervention and maximum personality, in which he seeks the purity of the grape variety, but also freshness and the bond with terroir. The explanation of why these varieties, and why in Sherry Country, is to be found in the personal and professional journey of Moreno, a globetrotting Seville man, born in 1979, who has undoubtedly made the most of the opportunities life has offered him."

"Launching the business with exclusively old wines in stock was a risky bet. In those years, with sherry’s popularity in the doldrums, they managed to sell only a few hundred bottles, a figure that nowadays has increased to 20,000. Nevertheless, their focus is quality, not quantity. The whole aging and bottling process is artisanal -each and every bottle is sealed manually and all front labels have their drawn-off date, lot and bottle number written by hand. Traditional high ceilings and sandy soils adorn the bodega, which has five criaderas (levels of storage) for all its wines except Palo Cortado, which has three, more common in Jerez."
