About Fondillón

When we speak of fortified wines, classics such as Jerez, Oporto, or Madeira immediately spring to mind. However, beyond these well-known names, there are unique treasures that rarely emerge from obscurity. One such gem is Fondillón from Alicante, a legendary wine that combines history, complexity, and unparalleled character, embodying the most distinctive essence of the Alicante Mediterranean.

Those well-acquainted with it are Bodegas Monóvar, an Alicante project where casks of century-old soleras rest, safeguarding this authentic oenological jewel of the Denominación de Origen Alicante. Fondillón 1996 is crafted from overripe monastrell grapes, many sourced from ancient vines, and is aged following the solera and criadera method, which imparts depth, elegance, and personality.

The result is a wine that speaks for itself. Each sip of Fondillón 1996 is a journey to the heart of the Mediterranean, a liquid testament to centuries of tradition and the unmistakable character of its land.
