The story
Bodegas Emilio Hidalgo is a family-owned winery with roots in the 19th century, established in the historic center of Jerez de la Frontera. The Hidalgo family has maintained and expanded the original solera stocks of wine and brandy; in the 20th century the house consolidated its commercial operations and expanded exports. Today the winery is managed by descendants of the family who preserve the historic soleras and traditional aging practices.
Production philosophy
Preserving the legacy of the Marco de Jerez and working without contemporary shortcuts: an extended period in solera, respect for the stages of biological and oxidative aging, and selection of the finest casks to preserve the bodega’s classic style and territorial identity.
Terroir and vineyards
The winery is located in the historic heart of Jerez de la Frontera. Some of the winery's flagship wines come from traditional vineyards of the Marco, and the architectural features of the buildings promote preservation and aging according to the system of criaderas y soleras; for wines such as Villapanés the connection with the albariza soils typical of the area is often cited.
