Bodega Les Useres, a winery to discover

BODEGA LES USERES is located in the beautiful village of Les Useres, within the county of Alcalatén, in the province of Castellón (region of Valencia, Spain). The origins of this winery go back to the 1950s when a number of local wine growers grouped together, and with constant effort, perseverance, patience, investment and a desire to do things well, have allowed LES USERES to become the most important winery in the province of Castellón.
In 2003, the regional Government of Valencia (Spain) created the Geographical Indication of “Vino de la Tierra de Castellón” (literally “Wines from the Land of Castellón”), within which our company is the main
producer.
Their newly updated winemaking facilities, together with their stock of American oak barrels accommodate their winery’s processes for the growing demands for their range of red, white and rosé wines under the L’ALCALATÉN brand.
They invite to discover our range of quality wines, all under the Geographical Indication of “Vinos de la Tierra de Castellón” , offering a great business opportunity with our excellent balance between quality wines and competitive prices.
Their wines are made from diverse Spanish grapes such as Tempranillo, Monastrell or Macabeo, as well as Bonicaire, a unique cepage from Castellón (their Rosé Bonicaire is the only wine in the world made from these grapes).
Also, their corks-only used in our red wines- come from certified sustainable cork-tree forests from our own region (our corks are stamped with the FSC label).
