ALICANTE FONDILLON TASTING

                                   We offer you a tasting of a sweet wine unique in the world. It has extraordinary individual character and has often been served at the tables of Kings and illustrious personalities throughout history. It was the first wine which had its own name, before other famous wines, such as Sherry, Port and Champagne. It has always been the most sought-after wine of all, and its uniqueness has been prized by the most discerning palates. This exceptional and exclusive product is only allowed to be produced at ten wineries in the Alicante region of Spain, and we are privileged to be one of these chosen few. Numerous references have been made to Fondillón throughout history. It is well established that in 1498 red wines were made in Alicante with Monastrell grape variety, which were undoubtedly the origin of Fondillón. In the 15th century too, it was in great demand to supply wine for the great ocean voyages made by Magallanes and Elcano in their legendary expedition around the world. It was also highly appreciated at the court of Fernando the Catholic King, and in the salons of France’s Sun King, Louis XVI. Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes and Emilio Salgari all referred to it in their works, as did Alexandre Dumas in the Count of Monte Cristo and Daniel Defoe in Robinson Crusoe. The name “fondo” or “fondillo” comes from the long ageing time necessary to make this wine. The cellar masters, because of the long period of ageing time needed for this wine, placed the barrels containing it at the back (al fondo) of the cellar, only bringing them out after at least ten years ageing.
