We have selected a very old Fondillón from a centenary barrel to highlight the value of this extraordinary wine, internationally recognized as a luxury wine with its own name alongside Jerez, Oporto, Champagne or Tokaj, which despite its great history, today is still not sufficiently known and thanks to the efforts of chefs, specialists and authorities, in recent years is being revalued and enjoying great prestige among the most influential critics in the world of wine.
Historic wine, it enjoyed great popularity at the court of Ferdinand the Catholic or in the salons of Louis XIV, the “Sun King” of France, Elizabeth I of England, or Philip II of Spain, so it is known as the wine of Kings.It was a wine in great demand in the great expeditions of Magellan and Elcano that sailed the Atlantic and one of the most desired and expensive wines in the world during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Fondillón is a generous wine, a reflection of the Mediterranean culture, which has the favor of the E.U. and the protection of the Alicante D.O. as the exclusive place of production.
