FEATURED PRODUCER:

WILLIAMS & HUMBERT

Williams and Humbert is one of the most iconic sherry houses in the Marco de Jerez. They also are home to the largest winery in all of Europe. The current bodega was built in the 1970’s, and houses tens of thousands of sherry casks, brandy casks, and more.

The history of Bodegas Williams & Humbert goes back nearly 140 years. They participated in the creation of the Jerez-Xérès-Brandy Quality Demarcation and are now considered to be one of the world’s most prestigious wine producers.

The winery was founded in 1877 by Sir Alexander Williams, a great admirer and connoisseur of sherry products, and Arthur Humbert, a specialist in international relations.

Since then they have preserved part of the original wines and brandies (soleras) in high quality oak casks. These soleras are the base of the development and ageing of every sherry and brandy produced at Bodegas Williams & Humbert.

In the 1960s José, Nicolás, Jesús and Ángel, members of the Medina family who were working at different Jerez wineries, decided to steer their careers towards creating their own winery: José Medina y Compañía. Founded by José Medina, at first the firm enjoyed the external support of his brothers, who became full-time partners two years later. They eventually acquired Williams & Humbert in 2005.  

Paola Medina now runs the winemaking, and spearheads the famous collection of Añadas, the largest collection of sherries with a vintage in all of Jerez, dating back to 1920. Paola also experiments with organic wines, and unfortified sherries.
