Francisco Yuste, Sanlúcar businessman and owner
of Bodegas Francisco Yuste, bought much of the wine at Bodegas Pedro Romero
after it went bust. He has spent months organising things and is now
re-launching some famous old brands: Manzanilla Aurora and the brandies Pedro I
and Punto Azul. Interestingly, Francisco's wife and daughter are both called Aurora. The Punto Azul comes in two versions: Prestige and Heritage aged
for 50 and 80 years respectively. During the next six months Yuste also plans
to release some VORS wines from the pre-phylloxera soleras of the Conde de
Aldama. This is fantastic news!
It is fantastic news indeed! Hopefully he'll move the precious soleras to Los Angeles and cease using the bodega as a discoteca...
