Write a reviewWe were in Malaga three years ago, 6 friends from Germany. There we were able to enjoy the Brandy Grand Reserva 1885 for the first time. Since then we have regularly ordered this great wine to Germany via a mail order company. The smell alone... wonderful! We are back in Malaga this winter and will definitely visit the bodega.

Thank you Joana for making our visit so pleasant, after visiting so many renowned wineries, no one has explained wine making to us like you, from the vineyards to the winery, without rushing and gladly answering all the questions I asked you. Wines with a unique, spectacular flavor. Trajinero, pimpillo vermouth, etc., you already have some loyal customers here.
