2011 has also seen the celebration of 50 years of making Gran Chef, our special cooking wine. It is a vintage wine, which has been prepared with eleven carefully selected herbs, which have all been blended and macerated for some time.

The initial idea to create a wine specifically for cooking came from the matriarch of the Tetas Marrugat family, Antonia Marrugat. She found that she needed a wine for cooking which had been made specifically for that purpose, to add flavour to her sauces. Since its release, it has been a consumer favourite and was a pioneer wine of its age. You can purchase Gran Chef in large supermarkets and specialist shops. It is sold with its own recipe leaflet.

We thoroughly recommend it for all kinds of stews, roast meats, oven-baked fish, sauces, marinades…. If you already use it, or if you are trying it for the first time, please send us your recipes and we will publish them on Facebook and Twitter!

Congratulations Gran Chef!!
