			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>An age-old legend speaks of a cave high in the Andes mountains and of an ancient city named Marraso, which was protected by the spirit of an ancient horse, whose image was painted on the wall of the cave. The people of the city named the image El Caballo Antiguo, the ancient horse, and believed the symbol had mystical properties.</p></blockquote>
<p>No sign of either the legendary cave or the city has ever been found, but the fruit of the vineyards, planted in the shadow of Los Andes, is said to contain the spirit of El Caballo Antiguo and produce amazing flavors that make this wine unique. </p>

<p>In 1995, Don Roberto, Jr. and his two sons launched Tequila Don Roberto in homage to the art of good tequila. In parallel to that, Casa Don Roberto established La Purisima, the largest tequila factory in the world.</p>
<p>Far beyond having almost 200 years of experience, Don Roberto Tequila owes its essence and characteristic flavor to the quality of the product and the process by which it is produced.</p>
<p>On those special occasions when Don Roberto would share his tequila (his most prized creation) with family and friends, it was always served straight in order for guests to truly experience the quality of the tequila. He would ask that they first smell the aroma, then take a sip and let the tequila linger on their tongues in order to capture and savor its unique flavor before allowing it to glide down their throats.

<p>Durbanville Hills winery draws its grapes from a group of neighboring historic farms, mostly established at the turn of the 17th and 18th Centuries.</p>
<p>These include Bloemendal, allocated as a freehold farm in 1698 to an early Dutch settler at the Cape. Most of the other farms involved were allocated as freehold farms during the early 1700s, including Maastricht in 1702, Hooggelegen in 1703 and Ongegund in 1704.</p>
