Alceño Winery
We are in southeastern Spain, in a transitional area between the coast and the La Mancha plateau. We have a significant difference in altitude, from 400 to 950 meters, gradually ascending in parallel valleys from south to north. We have excellent conditions for organic farming.
At Bodegas Alceño, we manage numerous vineyards owned by various farmers, where we carry out the monitoring 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, and Cabernet Sauvignon, while our white varieties are Sauvignon Blanc, Verdejo, Macabeo, and Airén.
The soils are mainly calcareous and stony, sandy loam, and clay. 80% of the cultivation is dryland, with most of the vineyards planted in a bush-trained system. Yields are very low due to low rainfall. We have cold winters and hot summers.
The harvest begins in September and ends at the end of October.
