Producer Information

Bodegas Poniente is a relatively new project started by businessman Patrick Mata and enologist Alberto Orte. They had already started the winemaking company Compañía de Vinos del Atlántico and NY wine importer Olé Imports (now merged with a Portuguese partner as Olé & Obrigado). Alberto Orte was born in Madrid but is now living in El Puerto de Santa María. He had been actively producing (unfortified) wine in the sherry region, Vara y Pulgar (Tintilla) and Atlántida (Vijariego blanco) among others. In 2015 Alberto (whose family has a tradition of solera wines in Montilla Moriles) realized his dream of producing fortified wines in the Marco de Jerez. He started under the radar by sourcing old sherry casks and existing wines from prestigious bodegas and almacenistas. These were blended and served as the high quality starting point for the Poniente soleras and allowed them to aim high, with a well-aged Fino and three VORS wines right which have been marketed since early 2019.
