“As Jerez history goes, Valdespino was in at the beginning. The current company dates back to 1875, but there are written records of winegrowing in 1264. The present owners, the Estévez Group, acquired it in 1999, working with technical director Eduardo Ojeda. Ojeda is a key figure in the new Sherry world, as one of the partners in Equipo Navazos, a small négociant business that has been influential in showing how shippers can identify special butts for bottling. Deliciosa has been a Valdespino brand for almost a century, but its quality has been boosted by the soleras of Sanlúcar bodega La Guita, which Estévez purchased in 2007. Pedro Ballesteros Torres MW: Very well-defined aromas: delicate and clean. Nice manzanilla style that is suave and open, with a lingering finish. Sarah Jane Evans MW: Typical apple and camomile aromas – charmingly floral and delicate. A manzanilla for the Spring Fair: a classically fresh drink with just a hint of saline bite. Delicate and finely balanced; the essence of a young manzanilla. Nick Room: Straight, pleasant, slightly high-toned, fruity nose supports the pale lemon, green-tinged colour. Some toasty notes on the palate and a good incisive fruit delivery. Powerful, overt statement for Sherry. Tight but long.”

About Valdespino

With over six centuries of sherry production, Valdespino stands as one of the oldest and most respected sherry bodegas in the region. At the core of their excellence are their vineyards. As one of the few bodegas producing single-vineyard wines, their Macharnudo vineyard is considered one of the ‘grand crus’ of Jerez.

Positioned at the highest altitude, this vineyard thrives on the renowned, bright white Albariza chalk soils. From the crisp and savory Manzanilla Deliciosa and Fino Inocente to the rich and intense Solera 1842 and Pedro Ximénez, Valdespino’s wines consistently deliver world-class quality.

The bodega maintains tradition by fermenting a portion of their wines in wooden barrels, adding layers of complexity. Notably, they age their wines in solera far beyond the DO regulations, ensuring exceptional depth across all sherry styles.
