The Cellar: With almost 140 years of history behind it, the Bodega Williams & Humbert, founded in 1877 by Sir Alexander Williams, a great expert and passionate about Jerez products, and Arthur Humbert, a specialist in international relations, is recognized as one of the most prestigious wineries in Jerez and is renowned worldwide for the production of Sherry. Sherry is a wine with a laborious and sophisticated production; fallen into oblivion for years, it has never actually lost its value as an excellent wine, so much so that lately the spotlight is being turned back on this truly unique product. The Bodegas Williamas & Humbert facilities, believed to be the largest in Europe, are made up of a complex of buildings connected to each other which occupy an area of approximately 180,000 square metres. Bodegas products combine tradition and savoir-faire acquired over the centuries and expressed by the quality of its prestigious labels. The cellar still preserves wines and brandies dating back to the time of its foundation and has obtained the National Architecture Award. The company-owned vineyards are located in the triangle formed by Jerez de la Frontera, Puerto di Santa Maria and Sanlucar di Barrameda, an area that enjoys a particular and favorable microclimate due to the presence of the Guadalquivir and Guadalete rivers. On the global scene, Williams & Humbert is developing an ambitious program of diversification in the high-quality agri-food sector. Among the most innovative projects are the Rum Dos Maderas which are made and partially aged in the Caribbean, before being transferred to Jerez where they finish maturing. Respecting the most important values of tradition, Williams & Humbert's strategic plan develops with great creative vitality and a strong spirit of modernization; the great tenacity and innovative drive, always linked, however, to traditional values, represent its spirit.
