Freixenet

The most important traditional sparkling wine brand in the world (“Established in 1861”) takes its name from the ash groves in the area: Freixe is Spanish for ash. The declared aim of the company is that connoisseurs are transported by the passion and joie de vivre of the brand. The beginning of the firm’s unprecedented success story is marked by the marriage of Dolores Sala with her great love Pedro Ferrer Bosch. Together they formed an unbeatable team: Dolores was ahead of her time with detailed knowledge of winemaking, and combined with Pedro's alert sense of entrepreneurship their sparkling wines quickly gained fame and recognition. Today Pedro and Dolores’ children and grandchildren manage the family business.
