History
The Oriol Romeu Winery is located in Crevillent, a town that is part of the DOP Alicante, known for its rich winemaking tradition. The winery's philosophy aligns with the values of the region, which seeks to highlight native varieties and the richness of its terroir.
Vinification in this part of Alicante has been marked by the iconic Monastrell, a red variety characterized by its intensity and personality. Crevillent, in addition to being the birthplace of this winery, is situated in a landscape where the Mediterranean climate allows for dry-land vineyards, contributing unique characteristics to the wines produced here.
The DOP Alicante promotes not only Monastrell but also Moscatel de Alicante, a variety that can produce white and sweet wines, thus expanding the spectrum of possibilities for wine lovers in this area, which has been appreciated in the winemaking history of Europe for centuries.
Philosophy
Oriol Romeu stands out for its strong commitment to ecology, cultivating its vineyards in an environmentally respectful manner. This philosophy translates into sustainable land management, where each vineyard is treated with the necessary care to produce high-quality grapes.
Furthermore, the winery emphasizes the reintroduction of native varieties, giving relevance to the winemaking tradition of the Crevillent region. Oriol Romeu's goal is to offer wines that not only reflect the personality of the land but also tell the story of its various landscapes.
This connection with tradition and the local environment is felt in every bottle, creating wines that pay homage to the rich wine culture of Alicante.
The vineyard
The vineyard of Oriol Romeu is situated in a privileged setting, surrounded by the beautiful mountains of Crevillent, where the Mediterranean climate provides optimal conditions for grape cultivation. The combination of fertile soils and a rugged landscape results in a diversity of microclimates that benefit winemaking practices.
This duality between mountain and sea creates an ideal scenario for the growth of native varieties, which are the soul of the wines from the region. Each vine at the winery is carefully tended to, and respect for nature is an essential principle that guides their agricultural practices.
In this rich land, dry-land cultivation allows the grapes to develop a concentration of flavors, thus reflecting the typicity of the Alicante landscape and the dedication that the winemakers bring to their work.
