In the heart of Requena, Montesanco Vineyard stands as a testament to dedication and renewal. Established in 2016, this family-owned vineyard has revitalized a landscape once devastated by phylloxera. Deeply rooted in centuries-old Bobal vines, Montesanco is committed to preserving both cultural and viticultural heritage.
In 2022, the owners expanded to a picturesque property in Teulada, Alicante, inspired by its beautiful setting. This former muscatel raisin-drying farm has been transformed to mirror the efforts in Requena. The project focuses on the holistic recovery of the agricultural property, including the revitalization of ancient vines of Moscatel and the conservation of culturally significant buildings like the Riu Raus..
Historically, muscatel drying was the main economic activity in the area of Marina Alta in Alicante , and Montesanco aims to honor and revive this heritage through their innovative and respectful approach to winemaking and land stewardship.
