Bodega Las Virtudes Information

Bodega Las Virtudes was founded in 1961 in Villena, a town with which we have a very special bond and which forms part of our reason for being. We were born as a response to the need for small wineries and local producers to join forces in a historic land with a centuries-old winemaking tradition and a crossroads between the Mediterranean and the plateau. Our vineyards are under the Alicante D.O., one of the oldest in Spain. The Monastrell variety, in our Alto Vinalopó region, is the autochthonous and most characteristic grape of our wines. Thanks to the soil, the climatic conditions and the altitude, our Monastrell differs from those grown in other areas due to its greater freshness and versatility, giving it that much-appreciated Mediterranean touch. We produce a wide variety of wines, many of them with organic certification as a result of our commitment to traditional, environmentally friendly cultivation and our Mediterranean landscape. We are particularly proud of our Fondillón, a natural aged wine made from Monastrell grapes aged for a minimum of 10 years, unique and exclusive, which only a very small number of wineries in Alicante can produce. In 1999 we expanded our facilities with the Almazara Las Virtudes, where we produce a very special Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Local varieties such as Changlot Real and Grosal, together with Arbequina and Picual, show all the potential of a territory that has been cultivating olive trees for thousands of years. Both in the elaboration of wine and oil we carry out the integral control of the process from our fields to the commercialisation of the product, offering authenticity and guarantee to our customers all over the world.
