Masos

Bodega MASOS in Benimantell has its origins in 1237, with references to vine cultivation in Mas de Ondara documented in the Llibre del Repartiment de Jaume I. Over time, and after 100 years of forgetfulness, the Vidal Balaguer family decided to revive the winemaking tradition of this land.

Thus, they opened the doors of the winery, a place that has become a link between the past winemaking history of the region and its present. The DOP Alicante, where the winery is located, is known for its quality wines, including the Monastrell, as well as the Moscatel de Alicante and the Fondillón, a wine with a rich history dating back to the Renaissance that symbolizes the wine identity of the region.

Today, Bodega MASOS seeks to pay homage to the enological and cultural roots of the Guadalest Valley while sharing its history with visitors. The winery stands out for its effort in rehabilitating old farmhouses and estates in the area, highlighting its bravery in resuming a tradition that had been forgotten for a century.

This commitment not only benefits the winery but also enhances the value of the local heritage and the viticultural landscape of Alicante, where vineyards intertwine with a landscape of mountains and the proximity of the sea.

The philosophy of Bodega MASOS focuses on the proper valorization of its terroir and the agricultural tradition of the Guadalest Valley. Through the rehabilitation of four farmhouses, the winery rescues the winemaking customs of the area, creating a link between the past and the present.

The winery does not provide specific details about its grape varieties but aligns itself with the rich winemaking tradition of the DOP Alicante, known for its emblematic Monastrell and other varieties that have thrived in the region's Mediterranean climate. This connection to tradition translates into their focus on producing wines that evoke the essence of the Guadalest Valley, reflecting both the character of the land and the history of the Vidal Balaguer family.

With a commitment to quality and authenticity, Bodega MASOS stands as a worthy representative of the Alicante wine heritage.

The vineyard of Bodega MASOS is surrounded by a fascinating landscape, characterized by the proximity of mountains and a Mediterranean climate that favors vine cultivation. This environment not only promotes the growth of grapes but also the production of wines with a unique personality, thanks to the particular soils and microclimates of the Guadalest Valley.

The combination of Mediterranean warmth with the altitude of the region allows grapes to develop deep and complex flavors. In the DOP Alicante region, the viticultural landscape intertwines with the natural surroundings.

The predominance of varieties such as Monastrell and Moscatel, along with the scenic beauty of the area, creates an unparalleled visual and sensory experience for those visiting the winery. This corner of the province of Alicante bears witness to a tradition that adapts and renews with each bottle.
