Barbadillo
In 1821, Don Benigno Barbadillo settled in the town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, northwest of the province of Cádiz, part of the Andalusian region of southern Spain. He bought Bodegas El Toro in 1824 and started exporting to Britain and the United States. In 1827, the family launched a Manzanilla-style wine called Divina Pastora. This brings fame to the company because it is the first Sherry brand. Until then, sherry was sold in small barrels in bars and restaurants. The cellars of Barbadillo are located in the best areas of Sanlúcar de Barrameda and cover a total area of 75,000 m², with a capacity of 35 million liters (about 65,000 barrels). Today, Bodegas Barbadillo is run by representatives of the seventh generation Barbadillo and is one of the ten oldest companies in Spain and among the largest producers of sherry.

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is the world's most famous white-wine grape and also one of the most widely planted. Of course, the most highly regarded expressions of the variety are those from Burgundy and California, but many high-quality examples are made in Italy, Australia, New Zealand and parts of South America. Describing the flavours of Chardonnay is not easy. This is not thanks to the complexity of the varietal itself but usually due its susceptibility to winemaking techniques - such as Malolactic fermentation which gives distinctive buttery aromas or Fermentation or maturation in oak barrels which contributes to the wine with smokey notes of vanilla, honey and even cinnamon, and not last the lees contact while in barrel imparts biscuity, doughy flavours. And all these incorporated with the varietal aromas of tropical (banana, pineapple and guava) to stone fruits (peach, nectarine and apricot), sometimes even citrus and apple notes. Climate plays a major role in dictating which fruit flavours a Chardonnay will have - warm regions (California, Australia ) make more tropical styles; temperate zones (southern Burgundy, New Zealand) - stone fruit notes, while the very coolest (Chablis, Champagne) lean towards green-apple aromas.
