Niño de la Salina Winery
The beginning of this project was to continue the dream of ‘Andresito, el Niño de la Salina’. At that time, in the postwar years, the need and the scarce resources made it difficult to breed complex wine. It was produced with rudimentary procedures and its consumption was exclusive for the family, turning into an annual traditionl.
More than a decade ago, his sons Francisco and Andrés Fontalba decided to exploit this wine production —together with other farming activities they were already making. The initiative has turned little by little into a family company known as Bodega Niño de la Salina. The first productions gave birth to a young red wine that paid tribute to Andresito, the goal of the family. Although it may seem as a weird marketing campaign, their idea was to keep their roots from Andalucía and, of course, from their family; with this they were able to show a real story that moved everyone and has turned into a big success.
Years later, what it started as a small family project designed to fulfil a dream, it has not only made it true but also move forward with big ideas of future and following at all causes their principles. The development of the company has made their products known by their quality in their region and boost them both in Spain and abroad. It is an entrepreneurial project and it has created employment.
Their objective is to breed good wine, with excellent characteristics, traditional and organic procedures and make it available to every one. And, of cpourse, under the designation of origin Málaga and Sierras de Málaga, quality guarantee. Cheers!
