WILLIAMS & HUMBERT

Williams & Humbert

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.

Climate

The climate of the Jerez Region is warm as a consequence of its low latitude, given that it is one of the most southern winegrowing regions in Europe.

Soils

The Albariza soil is the white soil typical of the rolling hills of the Jerez Region. Not in vain is this whiteness reflected in the very etymology of the word Albariza, whose origins lay in the Latin word “albus”, meaning “white”.

This Albariza is a soft rock formed by sediments amongst which can be found remains of diatomaceous earth, of organisms belonging to the siliceous plankton type and others of the calcareous skeletal type.

Vineyards

Soil, climate, geographical location…. there are many factors that characterize our vineyards and are determining factors in the production of such special wines as Sherry. The locations where the grapes are grown and conditions in which viticulture takes place have a powerful influence to play on these unique wines.

Añina and Carrascal are the pagos, the vineyard zones, where the 250 hectares of vineyard grown by Bodegas Williams & Humbert are located. These two pagos are both historic and emblematic in the Jerez Region and where the Las Conchas and Dos Mercedes vineyards are both to be found. Located in the Jerez Superior vineyard zone, Añina and Carrascal, each with their own individual characteristics, provide the perfect combination for growing the different grape varieties of the Jerez Region.
