Historia
Bodega Iniesta, Its construction
Bodega Iniesta was created in the 1990’s when José Antonio Iniesta started this project with a plantation of 10 hectares of vineyards. After several years and given the results obtained, he continued his work in viticulture by planting different varieties and increasing the vine-growing area to the current 200 hectares. Bodega Iniesta is in charge of the whole process from the vineyards to the commercialisation of the wines. At the beginning of the 2000’s, an idea began to take shape to build his own wine cellar in order to produce his own wines from his own vineyards. This dream became a reality in 2010, when the construction of the wine cellar was complete. That same year, the first wines were produced.
The project, The beginnings
Located in the heart of La Manchuela, between the basins of the Rivers Cabriel and Júcar, lies Bodega Iniesta, in Fuentealbilla, province of Albacete. A new wine cellar built to achieve the dream of the Iniesta Lujan Family, in their viticulture experience since the 1970’s.
Bodega Iniesta is a family-run wine cellar in which this family controls the whole vineyard and the production and commercialisation of its wines from its own vineyards in Fuentealbilla.
The recently built Wine Cellar has fulfilled the Iniesta Luján Family’s dream in their vine-growing experience which was always to produce their own wines from their property “Finca El Carril”.
The wine cellar and the vineyards are located in Fuentealbilla, in the heart of La Manchuela, between the Plateau of Castile and the Mediterranean, which gives the area an ideal microclimate for vine growing and helps to enjoy its best characteristics.The wine cellar is equipped and designed to give maximum respect to the qualities and characteristics of the grape and the land where they are located. The philosophy is the less we intervene in what nature gives us, the more respectful we are, the better the quality and personality of our products.
The Estate and the Wine Cellar are run by an excellent team of agronomists and oenologists of recognised prestige under the protection, enthusiasm and efforts of the Iniesta Family. The objective is none other than to convey the best of our land to the national and international market, satisfying and winning over the palates of wine consumers and wine lovers worldwide.
