My key to the treasure trove of Jerez de la Frontera

To truly understand Sherry, one must go beyond the glass. One must feel the earth where the vines grow, walk through the hushed cellars where time sleeps, and listen to the stories of the people who devote their lives to this ancient craft. That’s what this trilogy was written for.

In Part One, “Route Marco de Jerez” …

… we step into the birthplace of Sherry – sun-drenched Andalusia, shaped by Moorish heritage, majestic architecture, and a wine route unlike any other. This is the cultural and geographical stage – without it, Sherry would be just a drink. With it, it becomes history, identity, and place.

In Part Two, “Caramba, Caracho, Sherry, Olé!” …

…  we dive deep into the soul of the wine itself – its creation, its aging, its transformation. This is where Sherry is born, matures, and takes on character. Here, readers discover that Sherry is not simply made – it is lived: through the barrel, the flor, the passage of time, and the hands that guide it.

In Part Three, “Cathedrals of the Criadera and Solera System” …

… we arrive at the sacred spaces where all of this comes together: the bodegas. Whether vast or intimate, world-renowned or tucked away, each winery tells the story of Sherry in its own voice. Every one of them is a place of patience, precision, and passion.

This trilogy is more than a dossier – it is an invitation to experience Sherry with all the senses. Those who read all three parts will come to see why this wine has endured for millennia – and why it is being rediscovered today.

Because Sherry is not a trend. It is a treasure. And each part of this journey holds a key to unlocking its mystery.
