ORGANIC PEDRO XIMENEZ DO SHERRY

Barbadillo is a family winery with a 200-year history in Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Cádiz) that is deeply engaged with the environment that surrounds it. We have launched our organic line – Cielo, Tierra y Mar; (Sky, Earth and Sea) –focused on offering a range of exquisite wines that at the same time contribute to communicating the need to preserve the environment and nature of Cadiz’s coast.That’s why, in addition to their special production process, each of our wines bears the name of an element (sky, earth or sea) that requires protection or that contributes to the natural balance of the coastal region.
