Winery and Winemaking
Fondillon Luis XIV 50 Years Old comes in a wine bottle of 50 cl, with individual wooden case solid tinted.
Name of the Barrels: Luna
Total number of bottles: 323 bottles.
Very limited edition:
Each bottle corresponds to a specific bag, and the following information is indicated on its back label:
- Name of the main barrel of the sack.
- Bottle number.
- Total number of bottles of each run.
The high range of Fondillón Luis XIV comes from unique barrels (single barrel), from the wineries that closed their doors in the 1960s, in the towns of Canyada and Beneixama. Special wineries, which produced high-end Fondillones during the 19th century. XIX.
On the back label we indicate the name of the bottled barrel, the total print run, the bottle number and the year in which the run was made.
Our wine comes from an old forgotten barrel, in a historic cellar. A recovered treasure. For us, the most important thing is the great balance that we find in such old wines. Acidity, sweetness and depth complement each other very well, and everything is enveloped by the very old aromas of the centenary oak.

The Winery
In the 60s, the centenary Bodegas Ferrero, in the municipality of La Cañada (Alicante), ceased its activity and as a result the family has been inheriting generation after generation what was left of it, an incredible room of centenary barrels in extraordinary conditions of conservation that have been brought to the present day. A set of very old soleras, unaltered for more than 60 years.
This great collection of barrels houses classic dry fondillones. But also sweet wines, typical of the characteristic style of Alto Vinalopó.
In this sub-zone of the Alicante Denomination of Origin, dessert wines achieved great fame and popularity during the 19th century.
