History
Almiral de la Font derives its name from the local Almirall family and the spring – “font” – which is to be found in its grounds.
The house, a protected building and fortified masia (Catalan manor house), has been and continues to be a significant landmark in the Garraf area and was formerly used for winemaking and farming. Built before 1570, it was extended by the Almirall family in 1805. Architecturally, it is one of the best examples of the “basilica” style of building in Catalonia. Though totally renovated and adapted to a high standard of modern comfort, the original details have been preserved, in particular the wine presses and bodega. The windows have been enlarged to allow in more natural light. Balconies and terraces have been added.
Almiral de la font enjoys huge grounds whose grapes are used for Freixenet, Cordoniu and other local cavas. Amongst the 14 kilometres of private tracks you will also find pear, olive, cherry, walnut and almond trees in addition to many naturally growing herbs and vegetables (asparagus, rosemary and mushrooms).
