Visit de Campano winery
Vineyard, wines and sherry tapas.de Campano winery is in the wine region area of Jerez
The winery was founded in 1815 by Don Pedro Aragón Morales (1795), consolidating a family tradition of producing its own wines. The first location of the wine press and the winery was in the old Callejón de Jerez (today Sor Ángela de la Cruz street), where it was sold directly to the day laborers who came to work in the vineyards and from where it was also distributed to other establishments in Chiclana. Subsequently, his son Juan Aragón Ramos, who inherited the wine press and part of the solera, expanded the facilities, although, as his son Juan Aragón Saucedo would later do, he continued to maintain the same business structure, fundamentally oriented to local sales. Diego Aragón Periñán (1896), in the next generation at the beginning of the 20th century, gave a great boost to the winery, acquiring more vineyards and moving it to Olivo Street, a location that still remains today. At a time when there was a proliferation of isolated sanitary buildings for the sick and convalescent, the winery building, which stood out alone among the orchards in the area, with its solid construction and numerous windows, began to be known in Chiclana as El Sanatorio. The belief that good wines were an excellent restorative for people with delicate health also contributed to this.
