Today, the forefront of the Jerez trade structure is divided into two major players, each of them having their own well-defined functionality and duties that compel both to rely on each other: the\u00a0<strong>sherry Exporters\/Houses<\/strong>\u00a0and the much rarer\u00a0<strong>Almacenistas<\/strong>. Following the still current rules, all of them are located within the townships of\u00a0<strong>Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa Mar\u00eda or Sanl\u00facar de Barrameda<\/strong>, and allowed to make wines under the two DOs: \u00abJerez-X\u00e9r\u00e8s-Sherry\u00bb and \u00abManzanilla-Sanl\u00facar de Barrameda\u00bb, yet with slightly different rights and capabilities. The former (minimum\u00a0<strong>2,500 hectoliters<\/strong>\u00a0in permanent inventory) can\u00a0<strong>produce<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>age<\/strong>\u2014but also\u00a0<strong>sell\u00a0<\/strong>in\u00a0<strong>bottles<\/strong>\u2014wines under their\u00a0<strong>own brands<\/strong>.

Therefore, Almacenistas are left with two options, they either sell wine in bulk to the locals, or they vastly supply the Exporters\/Houses with their stocks\u2014this last option being an organic outcome of the internal trading structure of Jerez every year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19426\" src=\"https:\/\/sherryjourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/infografia-almacenista-vs-exportador-960x329.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sherryjourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/infografia-almacenista-vs-exportador-960x329.jpg 960w, https:\/\/sherryjourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/infografia-almacenista-vs-exportador-595x204.jpg 595w, https:\/\/sherryjourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/infografia-almacenista-vs-exportador-768x263.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sherryjourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/infografia-almacenista-vs-exportador.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"329\" \/><figcaption><em>Almacenista vs Exportadores.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>In 2021 there were formally identified\u00a0<strong>17 wineries as Bodegas de Crianza y Almacenado<\/strong>, most of them In 2021 there were, formally identified, 17 wineries as Bodegas de Crianza y Almacenado, most of them within the municipality of Jerez de la Frontera.

Jos\u00e9 Ruiz-Berdejo, a secretary of the local Court of Justice, started cultivating the vines of the family\u2019s state, named Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Esperanza, in his spare time. In these small-scale beginnings he made tiny quantities of wines which were then sold on to larger sherry producers. In 1931, his daughter,\u00a0<strong>Mar\u00eda Ruiz-Berdejo Alberti, acquired a little winery close to the center of Jerez de la Frontera<\/strong>\u00a0and moved all the preexisting soleras there, gaining notoriety and visibility. In the 40\u2019s, Maria\u2019s husband,\u00a0<strong>Emilio Lustau Ortega<\/strong>\u00a0once again moved the winery to the old Santiago district in Jerez de la Frontera. There, in buildings that were part of the ancient Moorish walls of the city, he slowly began to expand the business, still as an Almacenista. Although, in\u00a0<strong>1945 Emilio Lustau stepped away from being an Almacenista by steadily introducing its own brands<\/strong>:\u00a0<strong>Papirusa, Jarana, Escuadrilla, Emperatriz Eugenia and Cinta de Oro<\/strong>\u00a0were some of them. In 1950, the company started to export its own sherry wines.\u00a0<strong>125 years on<\/strong>, the history written by the numerous winery\u00a0<em>capataces<\/em>\u00a0whose work, experience, and dedicated passion grew the company without breaking that connection with the Almacenista philosophy that Jos\u00e9, Mar\u00eda and Emilio set to themselves still rules the House; offering the world the unparalleled diversity of quality wine specialties coming out of Jerez.\u00a0<strong>The Lustau Almacenista line hopefully pays homage to, not only, the humble origins of the winery, but also to those [otherwise] unknown heroes that, motivated by their love towards their craft, have contributed to the grace of the region ever since.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_798449750\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\"
