Garvey’s Sherry

Bodegas Garvey was founded in 1780 by WILLIAM GARVEY, an Irish aristocrat, from the county of Waterford. He was able to make Garvey one of the principle bodegas in Jerez in a short period of time.

He set sail on a grey day towards the bright sunshine of Cadíz, in order to acquire 'merinas' sheep to crossbreed with those that his father pastured on the green lands of Ireland.

Then, right in the Bay of Cadiz, the sea became enraged and hurled his ship onto the rocks, sinking it in less time than it takes to write about it. William was saved thanks to a Captain of the Spanish Navy, Rafael Gómez, who generously offered to have him looked after at his house in Puerto Real, a tiny village near Jerez.
