Sopla Poniente arises, in collaboration with large wineries in Andalusia, mainly in Montilla-Moriles, the area of Jerez and its satellites, as Rodríguez de Vera bets on generous wine. In this exciting project, our main task is to act as traders or negociants. Our team is constantly searching for hidden gems in different wineries. We have access to the best sacristies with unique and historical boots in ancient soleras. We search boot by boot within the sacristies, some of which have been abandoned for years, looking for those specific wines that reflect authenticity and personality that differentiate them from the rest of the solera.
After Pepe Rodríguez de Vera locates the necessary pieces to form a new puzzle, he makes his own blend taking Andalucía’s hidden treasures to another dimension.
Our area of action includes Montilla-Moriles, Jeréz, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, El Puerto de Santa María, Chiclana, Lebrija, Rota … and all those places where the west wind takes us …
