Port
Fonseca - In no Port house is the inherited tradition of winemaking skill and knowledge more evident than at Fonseca Guimaraens, where the wines have been made by the same family since its foundation in 1822. The Fonseca Guimaraens house style is one of richness and warmth, with a lush fruit intensity and a structure of both dimension and finesse. More voluptuous than massive, Fonseca Ports are coveted for their sumptuous yet refined body and great longevity. 1996

Sherry
Hidalgo is a long-established bodega in Sanlúcar, with its origins in the 18th Century. The Hidalgo family moved from northern Spain to Andalucia at that time, and established a salina for the production of salt. The family only entered the Sherry business in 1792, when José Pantaleón Hidalgo acquired a bodega from his father-in-law. Since that time the business has remained a family concern, passed through six generations. Keeping the operation small has allowed the family to maintain control and to favour the production of quality wines over quantity.
Calvados
Berneroy The distillery holds and matures a large stock of Calvados between 10 and 25 years old. Careful attention through the ageing period produces very round and rich with hints of fruit and spice. Berneroy n°8
Armagnac
Baron de Sigognac holds one of the most important stocks of old vintages in the whole Armagnac Region. These vintage Armagnacs are left to mature in local oak casks and their alcohol strength reduces naturally to about 40%, after 40 to 50 years.
