Bodegas Poniente, led by winemaker Alberto Orte, produces exceptional Sherries that beautifully blend tradition with innovation. Drawing on his family’s rich winemaking heritage from Montilla-Moriles, Orte combines 18th- and 19th-century soleras with estate-grown grapes from organic vineyards in the prestigious Pago Añina, one of the top vineyard sites in Jerez. The estate has become a hub of restoration and revitalization, with Orte reviving over 200 clones of Palomino among other indigenous varieties.
The winery is deeply committed to sustainability, employing biodynamic practices, avoiding insecticides, and enriching the soil with compost made from previous harvests. Bodegas Poniente continues to honor Jerez’s winemaking heritage while incorporating modern techniques to produce extraordinary Sherries that reflect the region’s rich history. This project is both a tribute to the past and a forward-looking effort to redefine the traditions of Jerez’s winemaking, with a focus on organic farming and preservation of the land.
