Bodegas Gutiérrez de la Vega
Description
Data of interest
In the 1970s, the couple formed by Felipe Gutiérrez de la Vega and his wife Pilar Sapena settled in a country house in Jávea to work on the old family vineyards. However, it was in 1982 when the winery was moved to an olive mill in Parcent, in the Marina Alta region of Alicante, to market those wines that gradually gained recognition both nationally and internationally, which allowed them, a decade later, to inaugurate the current winery, more modern and functional, adapted to the times.
They consider their philosophy to be centered on creating a family wine, as they are involved in all the winemaking processes (from working in the fields to designing the label).
It is worth highlighting the great work of Felipe Gutiérrez de la Vega in the recovery of traditional wines from the area, especially sweet muscat wines. The founder of the winery is a great lover of music, opera, and literature, and has drawn inspiration from classical works to name his wines. Examples of this are the wines under the name Casta Diva (the title of Bellini's opera) where the muscat grape is the true protagonist. These sweet wines are considered among the best in our country. Among them, we can mention Fondillón Casta Diva 1987 or Casta Diva Cosecha Miel.
He also pays homage to other figures of literature and contemporary music with wines named “Ulises” (Joyce), “Rojo y Negro” (Stendhal), “Príncipe de Salinas” (the prince from the novel “The Leopard” by Lampedusa), “Tambourine” (Dylan), or “Viña Alejandría” (Cavafy), among others.
One of the characteristics of this winery is that it currently produces its wines from three main and native varieties: monastrell, moscatel de alejandría, and garnacha.
