It is made from a blend of grape varieties, primarily Airén and Palomino, and is aged in oak barrels, which gives it a rich flavor and amber color. The brand was established in 1874 by González Byass, a prominent Spanish winemaker. Fundador is recognized for its smooth taste and is often enjoyed neat or in cocktails. It has gained popularity both in Spain and internationally, making it a staple in many bars and restaurants.
