More and more wines are being produced using classic grape varieties from the Jerez region (Palomino or Pedro Ximenez) but without fortification or aging under the yeast flor layer, as happens when making sherry. The resulting wines are both surprising and exciting.

Wines such as the Blanco Hornillos from the Callejuela winery exude aromas of green olives mixed in with a fragile touch of grape flesh, hints of salinity, and soothing reminders of quince, or even pear. Tasting the dryness of the grape pomace, and creaminess of the yeast, you can imagine the white limestone soils of the area around Sanlucar.

Francisco, father of the current managers, started at that time to buy vineyards in the Marco de Jerez region. In 1997, they moved to Pago del Hornillo, one of Sanlúcar's highest areas, and...
