AGED TO PERFECTIONAge is everything for Emilio Hidalgo. Established in 1874, Emilio Hidalgo has been producing elegant, unique Sherries for over 140 years and is still in family hands after 5 generations. Manuel Nieves has been cellar master, or ‘capataz’ for over 50 years, with his son Manuel Jesus Nieves serving as his apprentice and slated to take over his father’s role when he retires. What makes Hidalgo Sherries unique is the extensive biological aging they undergo—sometimes over 5 times longer than typical aging standards, in soleras that date back to 1861. The many years of experience and family ties is why Emilio Hidalgo so excellently produces ”sherry that other sherry producers want to drink.”
