A past full of future
In the Roman Vergentum, an area rich in the cultivation of vines and olive trees since the time of the Empire, José de Góngora y Arando settled in 1682. He acquired the Hacienda de San Rafael and founded the winery with the privilege of entering wines into the port of Seville, then Puerto de Indias. Thus was born the second oldest winery in Spain, the twelfth in the world, embedded in the commercial and financial development of Seville.
