Blanc Bàrbara Forés

CELLAR BARBARA FORÉS

With the name BÀRBARA FORÉS, we Manuel Sanmartín and Carmen Ferrer (husband and wife), have wanted to pay tribute to my great grandmother Bàrbara Forés, born in Gandesa on 7th February 1828.

Bàrbara Forés, the daughter of a wine merchant (Rafael Forés) and an agrarian landlady (María Figueras), was a woman with a driven personality who had a profound impact on his son Rafael. Consequently, Rafael Ferrer Forés, a chemist and a learned viticulturist, had a winery built in the stately home, where he began to bottle wine towards the end of the 19th century.

Bàrbara Forés means, therefore, a respect and tradition in the making of wine that has been passed on from generation to generation for more than a hundred years.
