Time Passes Slowly at Williams & Humbert

Without special soils, Sherry would be unthinkable. White, reflective limestone soils cover the slopes of the vineyards. The Albariza soils are the most popular in Jerez. They have the ability to retain large amounts of water and release it to the vines during the hot season, allowing the grapes (Palomino, Moscatel, and Pedro Ximénez) to thrive. Over many years, the Sherries of the “Don Zoilo” collection mature in the unique Solera system in the church-like high vaults of the house, where a light breeze always flows, allowing the Sherry to age perfectly in its oak barrels.

Time passes slowly at Williams & Humbert. Hurry, hustle, and fast-paced living do not belong in the world of Don Zoilo Sherries. They rest in their oak casks, undergoing the Solera process year after year, slowly maturing toward their perfection. It is this tranquility and time that give them their great complexity and the balanced harmony of aromas, scents, and flavors.
