Williams Colección de Añadas Fino Ecológico

Williams Colección de Añadas Fino Ecológico is a generoso wine produced by Bodegas Williams & Humbert in Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz) within D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry.

The history of the Bodegas Williams & Humbert wineries started almost 130 years ago. It was founded in 1877 by Sir. Alexander Williams and Arthur Humbert. They were involved in the creation of the Jerez-Xérès-Brandy Denomination of Origin, and to this day, the winery is recognised as one of the most prestigious producers in the world.

The Bodegas Williams & Humbert wineries are located in the triangle formed by Jérez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. This triangle is characterised by a peculiar microclimate, made up of the rivers Guadalquivir and Guadalete, called ‘the Mesopotamian valley’ of western Andalusia.

Currently, Williams & Humbert is the largest winery in Europe, and its distributor, Sovisur, distributes all its products together with wines from other denominations such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Rueda or Rías Baixas.

Williams Colección de Añadas Fino Ecológico is a fino wine made with Palomino from organic vineyards of the farm Pago de Burujena, in Trebujena.

After the manual harvest, with grape selection in the vineyard, the must is extracted and fermented at 22ºC. Fortified at 15.5% vol. alc. with organic alcohol, it is left untouched so that the yeasts develop the cap, thus starting biological ageing. Static ageing is not included in the ‘soleras’ and ‘criaderas’ system. The ageing takes place for 3 years in 600-litre American oak barrels.
