Barbadillo
In 1821, Don Benigno Barbadillo settled in the town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, northwest of the province of Cádiz, part of the Andalusian region of southern Spain. He bought Bodegas El Toro in 1824 and started exporting to Britain and the United States. In 1827, the family launched a Manzanilla-style wine called Divina Pastora. This brings fame to the company because it is the first Sherry brand. Until then, sherry was sold in small barrels in bars and restaurants. The cellars of Barbadillo are located in the best areas of Sanlúcar de Barrameda and cover a total area of 75,000 m², with a capacity of 35 million liters (about 65,000 barrels). Today, Bodegas Barbadillo is run by representatives of the seventh generation Barbadillo and is one of the ten oldest companies in Spain and among the largest producers of sherry.

Verdelho
Verdelho is a white wine grape variety associated with Madeira wines off the coast of Portugal, where it is the most widespread grape variety there in the 19th century. It was used mainly for the production of oxidized white wine, but the invasion of phylloxera in the 1960s had a devastating effect on the island's crops. Many of Verdelho's vineyards have been replaced by the more reliable and sustainable Tinta Negra Mole. Today, Verdelho is still grown in Europe, but is better known in Australia and America, where it is used to make dry white wines. The fragrant profile of Verdelho is fresh, sometimes with grassy or spicy accents. Old World-style wines are rich, with aromas of ripe apricots and stone fruits, while in Australia they are more in the range of citrus and tropical fruits. Apart from being a varietal wine, Verdelho is also used in blends with Chardonnay or Semillon. These wines are usually not intended for aging and are best consumed young.
