History
Bodegas y Viñedos El Sequé was founded in 1999 in Pinoso, a municipality that is part of the Vinalopó region, known for its rich winemaking tradition. From the very beginning, the winery has aimed to create wines with identity and memory, seeking to stand out in an environment where the Monastrell grape variety is one of the most representative.
Pinoso, with its landscape of vineyards and mountains, provides the perfect setting to develop wines of authentic Mediterranean character, thus reflecting the cultural heritage of the DOP Alicante, which protects the uniqueness of these wines. The DOP Alicante is renowned for its wines made from the Monastrell variety, as well as for the iconic Fondillón, a nutty and aged red wine that has been appreciated since the Renaissance.
In this context, Bodegas y Viñedos El Sequé seeks to pay tribute to these traditions, establishing a connection between the past and the present, in a territory where the balance between alcohol and sugar is essential for creating exceptional wines. Although its current production is not specified, its commitment to quality is reflected in every bottle.
Over the years, Bodegas y Viñedos El Sequé has cultivated 36.65 hectares of vineyard, planted in sandy and brown-limestone soils, characteristics that give their wines a distinctive profile. This commitment to the land and winemaking tradition, combined with a passion for wine, allows each of its products to tell a story, not only of the winery but also of the territory that hosts it.
The continuous pursuit of innovation in the production of its wines ensures that each vintage represents an authentic expression of Pinoso and its surroundings.
