A PLACE AND A DATE

During restoration work on the winery in 1986, the foundational stone was uncovered, confirming the origin of the winery in 1775 and establishing El Grifo as one of the oldest wineries in Spain.

This discovery served as a direct link to the past and a reaffirmation of the long winemaking tradition that defines EL GRIFO’s identity.

THE 1775 OLD WINEPRESS

Inside the EL GRIFO Wine Museum, the Old Winepress is one of the most iconic spaces. It is the original structure where grapes were once hand-pressed to extract the must that would give life to the winery’s wines.

Built from volcanic stone, the winepress reflects the traditional techniques of the past, when human strength and ingenuity were essential for winemaking under extreme conditions. Here, the must was filtered and sent to oak barrels for fermentation.

Today, it is preserved as a living symbol of the tradition and dedication of generations of winemakers.
