History
El Maestro Sierra (meaning 'the sierra master') was founded around 1830 in a bodega in the Jerez historic centre and has been associated with the Borrego family for generations. The estate produces extremely limited quantities from very old soleras in traditional conditions, with no industrial infrastructure.
