TRADITION
REVOLUTION,
hence the same word *
* Vicente Aleixandre
Nobel Prize in Literature, 1977.
The Francisco Gómez winery
nestles inside a magnificent
valley
among
luxuriant
green slopes and winding
mountains, interspersed with
dry river beds and rolling
hills. Located inland of the
Mediterranean
Sea,
700
metres above sea level, the
microclimate of this valley
has always been perfectly
suited for growing vines and
olive trees.
The flora of the area
-Mediterranean
woodland,
pine trees and rosemary
bushes together with local
wildlife that includes hares,
owls and golden eagles,
intermingle with 1,000-year
old olive trees, old Monastrell
vines
and
interminable
rows of vine trellises in an
extraordinary 3,500 hectare
estate, 600 of which are
dedicated to vine and olive
growing.
In ancient times, viticulture
was practised here by
Iberians, Celts and Romans,
followed by the Moors, who
developed it so successfully
that the area was to become
suppliers of wine to the court
of the Castilian crown, which
introduced wine, including
the Alicante Fondillón, to the
New World.
The
Francisco
Gómez
winery makes every effort
to preserve this ancestral
legacy and enhance wine and
olive oil culture in every way
it can.
The vines of Francisco
Gómez are grown according
to environmentally-friendly
and sustainable methods,
following
the
strict
requirements set down by
organic vine-growing.
Over the years we have
carefully brought together
the time-honoured, local
methods and the most modern
technological
techniques
and have succeeded in
establishing a way of working
that is genuine, appropriate
and adapted to the unique
terroir of our vineyards.
“The world of wine: my childhood
dream, a dream come true, a passion
to which I am completely devoted.
Something of me is in every bottle”.
“Our wines have soul, arouse the
senses, conjure up fond memories and
mirror the loving care and painstaking
work which we lavish on them.
They also enable us to rescue and keep
alive our traditions and show to the
world the unique culture of our land
and our heritage.”
“Like one big family, the crew at
Francisco Gómez work relentlessly to
achieve wines of the highest quality:
wines that are full of life and character,
grown in an exceptional location.”
“The winery: Radiating warmth and
loving care it is like the family home.
Come and visit our winery, see for
yourself a dream come true and come
and share my passion.”
Francisco Gómez
Inextricably linked with the land and the fruit
it bears. We lavish love and care on our plants
and this outstanding land, which in return offers
us the highest quality fruit.
Wines.
The world of wine is winemaker Francisco Gómez’s greatest
passion. It is with great pride that he presents this special
