Pioneers of the System in Jerez
Vintage Collection
Williams & Humbert has been a forerunner in biological aging vintages, with the launch of the first fino and amontillado vintage in the Marco de Jerez. These Vintages from the current Collection are limited edition as they come from the different extractions that the Winery periodically performs.

Supplementary information
The vintage wines of the Marco de Jerez, like those of Williams & Humbert, represent a unique aspect of the world of wine. Their static ageing -that is, without blending wines from different years as in the traditional criaderas and solera system- allows them to capture the pure expression of each vintage. This winery was a pioneer in experimenting with static biological ageing, launching the first Fino de Añada in 2006 and an Amontillado in 2003, something unheard of until then. Each bottle is a testimony of a specific year, a time capsule that expresses the climate, the grape harvest and the know-how of that moment.
FAQs
A vintage is the year in which the grapes used to make a wine were harvested. In the case of Marco de Jerez, vintages have a very special character when they are made under static ageing, that is, without the traditional system of criaderas and solera. Williams & Humbert has the oldest and most complete collection of vintage wines in the Marco, which began in 1920 with Single Cask wines (a single cask per vintage) and continues today with larger reserves of each vintage.
A vintage wine has been made exclusively with grapes from a single year, and in the case of Jerez, it can age for decades under oxidative or even static biological ageing, as Williams & Humbert has done with its Finos and Amontillados de Añada. On the other hand, a young wine is one that is consumed shortly after its production and does not undergo a prolonged ageing process. Therefore, vintage wine tends to be more complex and refined.
