José Bustamante y Sánchez was born in Málaga
and moved to Jerez where he set up a small bodega in 1921 at C/San Francisco
Javier, 3. He was essentially an almacenista but big enough to be selling his
own brands of both Sherry and Brandy.
Bustamante brands included:
Fino Betis; Amontillado Paso Doble; Fragata
East India Medium Oloroso; Reverencia
Cream; Special Solera Old Brown
Sherry; Calesa Manzanilla Pasada; Polca Moscatel Viejísimo, as well as a
complete range of spirits.
The bodega along with its soleras was bought
by Sánchez Romate and sold in 2001 to Bodegas Rey Fernando de Castilla in neighbouring C/Jardinillo. These soleras - apart from the PX and obviously the Manzanilla which was bought in - now produce the very fine Fernando de Castilla Antique range.
