The millennia-old tradition of cultivating vines and producing wines dates back to the earliest civilizations that settled in this land. Multiple factors such as the orography, a typically Mediterranean climate, and the strategic position between two seas have given rise to a wide range of wine products with unique characteristics and excellent quality, enjoying great renown worldwide.
Traditional Andalusian wines can be considered unique in the world. The albariza soil type and the criaderas and soleras system give it its own characteristics, but at the same time the different types of grapes (Palomino, Pedro Ximénez, Moscatel or Zalema), predominant in the different territories, together with biological aging (under a veil of flor) or oxidative aging, give rise to a variety of wines of exceptional quality such as: manzanilla, fino, amontillado, palo cortado, oloroso, PX and moscatel.
Most of these wines are protected by the historical Denominations of Origin existing in Andalusia: Jerez, Manzanilla de Sanlúcar, Montilla-Moriles, Condado de Huelva and Málaga, although more recently we must also highlight the strength of the white and red wines represented especially in the Denominations of Origin Granada and Sierra de Málaga.

Due to the origin of the raw material to be distilled, the wine, Andalusia finds a differentiating factor, using boots seasoned in fortified wines for its long aging processes.
The nuances that a fino, amontillado, oloroso or PX wine leaves in a boot, after having been stored for at least three years, are transferred to the brandy, endowing them with a color, aroma and flavor that makes them unique and unrepeatable.
Brandy de Jerez is a tremendously versatile drink that can be enjoyed in many ways. It is also used in cooking, providing dishes with that “magic” component that elevates them to levels of exquisiteness.
Beverages
The history of Andalusian vinegars is closely linked to the history of the wines from which they come. A unique dressing of exceptional quality, its high aromatic concentration and versatility make it essential in kitchens around the world.
Even in small doses, it provides unique aromas and nuances, becoming an essential ingredient in a multitude of recipes, dressings or reductions.
Andalusia boasts vinegars protected by historical Denominations of Origin such as Jerez, Condado de Huelva and Montilla-Moriles.
