Equipo Navazos

"Sherry genius..I could feel the energy behind them, they sent waves of electricity through me, and most of them are so complex that I found them difficult to describe" Jancis Robinson MW

It is a remarkable turn of events how two friends: sherry fanatic, wine writer and criminology professor Jesús Barquín and Eduardo Ojeda, technical director at Grupo Estevez (which includes the renown sherry houses of Valdespino and La Gitana) have gone from solely bottling special wines for themselves and their friends, to becoming one of the most celebrated producers of the region. Browse Jancis Robinson's website, and you'll find more articles and high scores about their wines than likely any other producer, period! And then there's Neal Martin, who when still writing for the Wine Advocate, commented how grateful he was to Equipo Navazos for being the first to enlighten him to the magic of fine sherry.
