History
Joan de la Casa Winery was founded in 2013, bringing to life the passion for viticulture inherited from his grandfather. Joan grew up among vineyards, where the harvest and the aroma of the earth were constants in his childhood.
These memories pay tribute to the man who taught him to value the land and its fruits. Located in Benissa, this winery is part of the DOP Alicante, a region renowned for its rich winemaking tradition and indigenous varieties such as Monastrell and Moscatel de Alicante, which give life to uniquely characterful wines.
The vineyard landscape surrounding the winery reflects the cultural heritage of the area. In the province of Alicante, the blend of inland and coastal areas has shaped an environment conducive to agriculture.
Joan de la Casa Winery aligns itself with this tradition, promoting environmentally sustainable viticulture connected to the landscape that nurtures it, an aspect that reflects the very essence of the DOP Alicante. This commitment to its natural surroundings is fundamental to its development and market projection.
The winery's wines, such as the notable Nimi made from Moscatell and the red Terra Fiter, crafted from Giró and Tempranillo, result from meticulous manual harvesting aimed at conveying the richness of the Alicante terroir. Thus, the story of Joan de la Casa is not only a personal narrative but also a reflection of the dynamism and quality of the wines emerging from this region.
Philosophy
The philosophy of Joan de la Casa Winery focuses on breaking away from modern viticulture that tends to industrialize the product. Joan is dedicated to the conscious care of the land and vineyards, fostering an ecosystem that allows the vines to grow freely and healthily.
This approach translates into a production process that minimizes chemical treatments, using organic farming practices that respect the environment. Harvesting is done manually, utilizing 12-kilogram boxes and conducting two selections.
This not only ensures the quality of the grapes but also reflects the winemaking tradition of the Alicante region, which has managed to preserve the richness of its native varieties over time, honoring the cultural heritage of its land.
The vineyard
The vineyards of Joan de la Casa Winery are set in a privileged environment of Marina Alta, located in Benissa. This landscape, characterized by its Mediterranean climate, presents a harmonious blend of mountains and the sea, offering an ideal habitat for vine cultivation.
The varied terrain and favorable climate ensure the development of high-quality grapes that reflect the typical character of the DOP Alicante, where coastal and inland landscapes intertwine. The vineyard is situated in a context where agriculture is often dry-farmed, adding an extra challenge and value to the production.
This relationship with the environment translates into a commitment to maintaining sustainable agricultural practices, rescuing traditional methods that maximize the authenticity of their wines and adapt to the demands of the prevalent Mediterranean climate in the area.
