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.

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.
