Fondillón Tesoro de Villena Solera 1972

The production of Fondillón begins with the selection of Monastrell grapes, which are left to overripen on the vine, thus concentrating their natural sugars. After harvesting, the grapes are fermented without the addition of alcohol, reaching a natural alcohol content of between 16 and 18 percent. This process results in a semi-sweet dry wine with a unique aromatic and flavor profile. Fondillón is aged using the traditional criaderas and soleras system in 400- and 225-liter oak barrels. The main solera at Bodega Las Virtudes dates back to 1972, and each bottle contains a blend of wines from different years that have aged together for at least ten years. This method ensures consistent quality and exceptional organoleptic complexity in every batch.
