Luis Caballero, honorary president of the family bodega of
the same name, has passed away at 78 years of age. He died in hospital in
Sevilla of pneumonia, and will be cremated in Jerez. He rose to be president of
the company after the death of his father in 1974, representing the 5th
generation. Among his achievements was the promotion of the company’s Ponche
Caballero to brand leader, but he did much more in his 34 years at the helm. He
bought the prestigious firm of Emilio Lustau, as well as bodegas in Rioja and
Rueda, not to mention 4 of the Domecq Sherry brands. He did whatever he could
to help and promote his beloved Puerto de Santa Maria. He leaves a wife, Elma
Gonzalez Gordon and three children, and will be sadly missed throughout the
Sherry business and beyond.
