Seville - Spain

Wint & Lila story:
The city of Cádiz was the most important center of brandy production in southern Europe in the seventeenth century. Here it was Juan de Wint (Knight of the Order of Calatrava) and Margarita de Lila, both of Flemish origin, engaged in maritime trade. With their marriage in 1645, one of the largest commercial shipping companies in the province of Cádiz was established.

The company Wint & Lila was responsible for the transport of alcohol for medical use for the traditional distilleries of the Guadalquivir Valley to Northern Europe. An alcohol that gave rise to the Dutch Genever, which the English would later replicate in the famous London Dry Gin due to its form of distillation.
