History
Bodegas Urium was founded in 1986 as a small artisan Jerez producer committed to traditional methods. The Fino is produced from old American oak butts and aged under flor in the traditional solera-criadera method without industrial-scale manipulation. Limited production makes these wines available primarily through specialist merchants.
