This is the kind of wine found in an English ship wrecked of 1813 under the sea in Tarragona coast, wine shipload was taken in Alicante. This ship was part of a eighteen-group in war against the French of Napoleon. The English attack failed and in their escape five ships beached at the coast.
This is the wine is drunk by kings, princes and cardinals and it was used to combat scurvy in ships too. The most surprising thing is that the wine is intact as well as barrel of 1798.
You can visit Sant Pere de Galliants monastery where seeing some ship pieces.

*The wine was loaded on the ship in Alicante. ???
Now that's some expensive wine, I'd say.
yes, the wine was loaded in Alicante. The Fondillón wine is produced exclusively under the protected denomination of origin of Alicante. To be honest, I haven't tried it.
ReplyDeleteI would say : I haven't tasted it! Or not Matt?
DeleteBoth "tried" and "tasted" are fine, and mean the same thing in this context.
DeleteMaster's word. ;)
