Juan Carlos Gutiérrez-Colosía

I was practically born there and I am 71 years old. 

At 14 I was helping my father and at 16 I started work there.  

It is part of my family tradition, it is in the blood and it looks as if my daughters will carry on the tradition.

Fino, Amontillado and Palo Cortado. 

Because these are the wines which we have always made by biological ageing.

Fino, Amontillado and Palo Cortado. 

These are the wines which have biological ageing and which at the end of the day are the most complex and most typical of our wines.

Every year I discover new pairings which never cease to surprise me. 

I love the sea and anything which comes from the sea goes perfectly with Fino (if it is a fresh flavour) or Amontillado (if it has a more complex flavour).

They are wines which still remain to be discovered, completely different and very versatile. 

Wines with great personality.

We are waiting for them to approve biologically aged wines below 15% alcohol which come about naturally since the yeast consumes alcohol, and that way we would be able to save on all the taxes that are nearly drowning us. 

The future must be:

• To get it into our heads that it is a wine of great quality which needs adequate promotion
• It needs to be profitable
• It should always accompany haute cuisine

As long as I can remember. 

When they were girls my aunts used to swim at the door of the bodega because the sea came right up to the door.
