The Junta de Andalucia has recommended the Consejo Regulador
to shelve the contentious question of whether Fino can be produced in Sanlucar.
Without wishing to get involved in the minutiae of the question, the secretary
general for agriculture, Judith Anda Ugarte, said that it was better to
complete the matters already in hand - modifications to the Reglamento, which
are now awaiting approval by Brussels – before starting on any others.
Fedejerez, whose proposal it was, were frustrated at the
last plenary at the Consejo, when the vote was postponed till July in order to
allow more time for dialogue. The Manzanilla producers felt they were to be
deprived of a long standing right, though it should be borne in mind that the
Jerez and Puerto Santa Maria bodegas had once to give up their right to make Manzanilla
in Sanlucar. Nonetheless, the Manzanilleros are prepared to go to court over
the issue.
