The history of one of the largest sherry wineries today can be traced back to March 8, 1760, when King Carlos III of Spain wrote a letter officially appointing Don Joaquín Manuel, Vice-Admiral of the Spanish Royal Armada. Villena as "Marquis del Real Tesoro".

When his fleet was attacked by pirate ships, the king awarded Don Joaquin this title as a reward for his victory. Not wanting to lose any of the crown treasure his ships carried, Don Joaquin used the silver from his own Order of Succession to create munitions.

It was on his triumphant return that the king bestowed upon him this title.

In 1897, King Alfonso XIII awarded the unmentioned title of Marques Del Real Tesoro to the grandson of the first Marquis, who founded the brand name with the title of MARQUES DEL REAL TESORO.

Sherry reserves were stored two centuries in advance by Mr. Conde of Villacres, who had a spacious cellar in which he stored the finest selections of sherry from Jerez, originating today in MARQUEZ and enjoyed all over the world The prestigious "Soleras" of Delgent Soro.
