Terry Centenario follows a traditional and careful process. Made with "airén" grapes, the result of the distillation is called Holland, an alcohol of 70º. To produce brandy, only the central part of the distillate, the “heart”, is used. Aging is carried out using the criaderas and soleras system, stored in American oak casks previously filled with fine wines from Jerez. The ready-to-bottle brandy is obtained from the solera, which is the fine one closest to the ground and the one that has and monopolizes the oldest holandas. This process gives rise to an exceptional and uniform product in colour, flavor and aroma. History Guillermo Terry, the founder of the famous winery, arrived in Cádiz in 1574 and soon became a successful merchant. However, it was his precursor, Santiago José de Terry y Buset, who followed him and started the winery business in 1783. In the mid-19th century, he was succeeded by his son Fernando A. de Terry, who began to produce his own wines in Puerto de Santa María. It will not be until the third generation, with Fernando Matías de Terry, when the winery is officially founded. In 1905 Terry covered the bottle with a handmade net made in the same city, innovating and at the same time improving the economic situation of many artisans in the city. Forty years later, the Terry family bought the famous Hierro del Bocado Carthusian horse farm, and from then until now the Carthusian horse will be the essential icon and soul of the brand's image, along with the innovative yellow mesh."
