Hidalgo Sherries
Jerez, Spain /
hidalgoimports.com
Hidalgo is a long-established bodega in Sanlúcar, with its origins in the 18th Century. The Hidalgo family
moved from northern Spain to Andalucía at that time, and established a salina for the production of salt.
The family only entered the Sherry business in 1792, when José Pantaleón Hidalgo acquired a bodega
from his father-in-law. Since that time the business has remained a family concern, passed through six
generations. Keeping the operation small has allowed the family to maintain control, and to favor the
production of quality wines over quantity. |
