Winemaker Description
Juan Jurado belongs to a new generation of young winemakers who see potential in the Marco de Jerez region beyond traditional fortified wines. After living away from his native Andalusia for many years (from Sitges to Australia via London), during which time he trained in the world of wine and sommellerie, he decided to return to his roots to start a project focused on authentic wines that reflect the diversity of the Jerez Region beyond Finos and Olorosos.
In 2022, Jurado invested all his savings to purchase a small vineyard in the Miraflores de Sanlúcar estate, along with winemaking equipment including a press, destemmer, casks, and jars to produce his first vintage. This marked the birth of Agrícola Calcárea, a project dedicated to crafting honest wines using minimal yet sufficient intervention to showcase the unique characteristics of each vineyard through classic and ancestral varieties of the Marco region.
The resulting wines are highly aromatic, featuring stone fruit, citrus, and white flower notes, with chalky and salty undertones. On the palate, they are savory and mineral, with a touch of bitterness.

The Agrícola Calcárea project was born out of the winemaker - Juan Jurado Gomez desire to return to Andalusia, their home, after more than a decade away. This dream has now become a reality. During their time abroad, Juan had the opportunity to taste some of the world's finest wines and gain experience vinifying in different regions. Learning from great masters outside of Spain provided them with valuable experience and a unique perspective on winemaking. However, the time had come for them to return to their roots.
Juan chose to settle in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, drawn by a combination of environmental factors and personal connections. The region's unique terroir is characterized by the calcareous Albariza soils, which are renowned for their ability to retain moisture and nourish grapevines. The Atlantic climate, with its gentle sea breezes, moderates temperatures and provides essential humidity. The Costa de la Luz's distinctive sunlight bathes the vineyards, contributing to optimal grape ripening. Beyond the environmental advantages, Juan was captivated by the unique character of Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The town's distinctive culture, warm-hearted residents, and rich tapestry of customs, traditions, and gastronomy create an intangible allure. These elements combine to form a special atmosphere that resonates deeply with them, making Sanlúcar de Barrameda not just an ideal location for viticulture, but also a place that feels like home.
