1907 – present
The Aurora brand was created in 1907 by Pedro Romero Villarreal in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, in honour of his wife Aurora Ambrosse Lacave, who ran the bodega after her husband's death in 1911, becoming one of the first women entrepreneurs in the Jerez sector. The bodega, founded in 1860 by Vicente Romero Carranza, kept Aurora as its flagship solera for more than a century, with an established presence in the national market for Jerez wines and Manzanilla. After the financial crisis and the closure of Bodegas Pedro Romero in 2014-2015, the brand was rescued by Bodegas Francisco Yuste, which incorporated the historic Aurora soleras into its own production, winning gold medals at IWC 2016, CINVE 2017 and SWA 2017.
