"In the city of Jerez de la Frontera, wineries sit side by side with the rest of the houses to shape the historic center, establishing a unique city skyline that is closely linked to the wine-making tradition in this part of southern Spain. The soleras and criaderas system allows the wine to age in barrels arranged in vertical structures inside a specific type of cellar which needs to be large, dark, ventilated, and cool."
"These spaces have an unforgettable aroma and are dark save for the occasional ray of light."
In Jerez de la Frontera, wineries sit alongside houses, shaping the historic center and a skyline tied to local wine-making traditions. The soleras and criaderas system ages wine in barrels stacked in vertical arrangements that demand a particular cellar typology. Cellars require large volumes, darkness, ventilation, and cool temperatures to support the aging process and preserve the sherry’s characteristics. Interior atmospheres are filled with a persistent aroma and remain largely dark, interrupted only by occasional rays of light that punctuate and animate the spaces.
