Selecció Delfí 2019 – wine with a proud history from 1910

It all began when Delfi’s grandmother bought a piece of land in the early 1910s. The vines that were already growing there were the local grapes Carinyena and Garnacha Negra. Grapes had been cultivated on that patch of land since time immemorial, or at least as far back as anyone could remember. Delfi’s grandfather owned a truck and worked as a haulier. That came to an abrupt end during the Spanish Civil War which raged from 1936 to 1939. It was during this war between the Spanish Republican government and the Nationalist rebels, led by General Franco, that grandfather’s truck was confiscated.

They opened a fruit and vegetable shop, selling eggs, grapes, olive oil, almonds and other produce. Read more.
