BODEGAS AL ZAGAL (D.O. GRANADA)

Bodegas Al Zagal S.L. is a company within the food sector, dedicated to the elaboration, ageing, bottling and marketing of wines with Protected Designation of Origin Granada (Spain).

From the passion for the wine world emerges in 2000 this project full of enthusiasm and desire to achieve the maximum quality from our wines with flavor and qualities characteristic of the lands of our region, located more than 1000 meters high north of the province, and unique within the national panorama. This desire has led us all these years to be one of the leading wineries of the creation of the Protected Designation of Origin Granada, whose first regulation was born in 2009 to finally be consolidated with a second approval published in the Official Bulletin of the Junta de Andalucia on Friday, February 23, 2018, with all that this entails; a comprehensive control and monitoring of the entire cycle of the grape from its cultivation to the packaging of our wines.

The name of our wines comes from the sultan Abu ‘ AbdAllah Muhammad az-Zaghall of Granada, called by the Christians the Zagal (brave) which was the name of Muhammed XIII King of Granada from 1485-1486.He was the brother of King Muley Hacén who, when his nephew Boabdil overthrew his father in 1482, fought alongside his brother in the war of Granada and inherited the throne in 1485, thus becoming the penultimate King of Granada in the Nasrid dynasty. Almost simultaneously Boabdil was captured by the Catholic monarchs during a raid of this land of Lucena (Córdoba). Al Zagal is generally considered the greatest strategist of the three sultans who were fighting for the throne. He reached an agreement with Boabdil, according to which his nephew was in command of the city of the Alhambra, while he was recognized as Lord of the other major cities of the Nasrid Kingdom (Málaga, Almería and Guadix). The fall of Málaga after a long siege by the Christian forces in 1489 led to El Zagal being declared a vassal of the Catholic monarchs, to whom he handed over the cities of Almería and Guadix.
