The Wines
of Jerez

The best conditions result in grapes of the Palomino and Pedro Ximénez varieties perfect for making the four types of Jerez wine: Fino, Amontillado, Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez.

The perfect triangle

In the Marco de Jerez, the conditions of sun, wind and land are ideal for making the best wines and brandies of Jerez.

Página Historia

The collection of Fundador brandies has been expanding over the years with new leon bet products, thus consolidating our leadership as a benchmark company in Brandy de Jerezand positioning us as the main producer of Brandy in the world.

System
traditional

In our own distillery, we control 100% of the distillation process of holandas and spirits, which will later age through the Criaderas and Solera system typical of the Marco de Jerez. An art perfected thanks to our more than 300 years of experience.

Go beyond

Hand in hand with our Master Blender we have returned the prominence that Brandy deserves to the category, creating a new collection that elevates Brandy to its highest expression thanks to its aging: the Sherry Cask collection.
