Established
in Sanlúcar in 1821, this old firm was into its fifth generation when it was
bought out by José Medina via its subsidiary Luis Páez in 1979.
The attractive
old bodega Reina Victoria built in 1891 was demolished in the 1990s. A protection order under the town planning regulations was not enough to protect it from
speculative builders. It had an interesting roof construction whereby the beams
supporting the two slopes were tied with steel rope rather than supported by
arches.
