Our winery was founded in 1870 and we have been adapting according to the times, to achieve the highest quality and personality in our wines. We have a capacity of 3,500,000 liters, of which 75% is in concrete, 15% oak and 5% stainless steel. Our part of the winery founded in 1870 still has original barrels and cones since the year of foundation.
Our winery belongs to the D.O.P. Jumilla. This Designation of Origin is located in a very special enclave for the production of quality wines in the southeast of Spain, in an area of transit from the coast to the La Mancha plateau. We have a great difference in altitude, from 400 to 950 meters, gradually ascending in parallel valleys from south to north, having excellent conditions for organic farming. At Bodegas Alceño, we control numerous vineyards of various farmers where we carry out... Leer más
Our winery belongs to the D.O.P. Jumilla. This Designation of Origin is located in a very special enclave for the production of quality wines in the southeast of Spain, in an area of transit from the coast to the La Mancha plateau. We have a great difference in altitude, from 400 to 950 meters, gradually ascending in parallel valleys from south to north, having excellent conditions for organic farming. At Bodegas Alceño, we control numerous vineyards of various farmers where we carry out the controls and work that generation after generation allows us to have grapes of different varieties, altitudes, ages and soils. Our red varieties are Monastrell, Syrah, Garnacha Tintorera, Garnacha, Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and the white ones are Sauvignon Blanc, Verdejo, Macabeo and Airén. The soils are mainly stony, calcareous, sandy loam and clayey. The rainfed cultivation is 80%, with most of the vineyards grown in bush; the yields are very low due to the low rainfall. We have cold winters and hot summers. The harvest begins in September and ends in late October.
Our elaboration tanks are made of concrete, including the “submerged hat” method and temperature controls, to elaborate our grapes with the greatest possible respect, so that they preserve their characteristics and obtain the wine as respectfully as possible. Our winery is equipped with machinery to work the musts and wines for the care and quality of the wine during all processes. In the ageing process, we are continually investigating.

Our elaboration tanks are made of concrete, including the “submerged hat” method and temperature controls, to elaborate our grapes with the greatest possible respect, so that they preserve their characteristics and obtain the wine as respectfully as possible. Our winery is equipped with machinery to work the musts and wines for the care and quality of the wine during all processes. In the ageing process, we are continually investigating. We control the temperature and humidity to get the best result from the wines. We use 225lt, 300lt, 400lt and 500lt barrels. The origin of the oak is 70% French and 30% American.
We have quality systems to control all the production, aging and bottling processes, so that the wine reaches the consumer in optimal conditions. We have a highly qualified team and computer programs to guarantee and control all quality processes.
