Cádiz

The Marco de Jerez begins with the land. Its most recognisable soil, albariza, is a white, chalk-rich earth whose structure allows it to absorb winter rainfall and release moisture through the dry summer months. The landscape is unusually bright, and the white soil is often as visually striking as the vines themselves.

Palomino Fino is the principal grape of the region and has been cultivated here for centuries. Its relationship with the albariza, local climate and vineyard practices is central to the identity of Jerez. Atlantic influence and the alternating Poniente and Levante winds add another layer to the growing environment.

The result is a place where geography remains active in the wine. The Marco is not defined by a single style or a single cellar, but by the conversation between chalk, climate, vine and the long traditions that developed around them.
