Notes from the Bodega

Originally, El Candado comes from two selected casks which were traditionally kept under lock and key as a family reserve before establishing its century-old solera. This is where it gets its unique name ‘Candado’ (‘lock’ in English). It is a unique sweet wine obtained from Pedro Ximénez grapes subjected to the traditional ‘soleo’; a sun-drying process which turns the grapes into raisins. After pressing and fermentation, it undergoes long and careful ageing in oak casks, which guarantees the highest quality and finesse.
