History
Royal Corregidor takes its name from the Corregidor, the Royal Administrator in the Jerez region during the Spanish Golden Age. Sandeman Jerez has produced this sweet Oloroso VOS from very old soleras since the early 20th century, sweetening the base Oloroso with Pedro Ximénez to the medium-sweet profile favoured in the British market.
