Vicente Gandia is a winery since 1885 and with a Mediterranean character. Due to the innovative character that has always characterized their winery and after many years of experience in the sector exporting wines, they wanted to go a step further and in 1971 they were the first Valencian winery to market bottled wine under their Castillo de Liria brand, which almost fifty years later still remains one of their most iconic brands. Today, they have a presence in 90 countries on 5 continents, they are the largest winery in the Valencian Community. In addition, in 2014 they were awarded as the best Spanish winery by the prestigious AWC Vienna international competition.

In 2018, the European Council of Enogastronomical Brotherhoods (CEUCO) awarded the “Aurum Europa Excellente” award to Vicente Gandía as “Best European Winery”.

Winemaking

These varieties are harvested in summer and to preserve all the characteristic aromas of these grapes, the berries are harvested at night, avoiding the high daytime temperatures. With the same intention, fermentation is carried out at a low temperature, thus obtaining a white wine of great expression.Malvasia and Moscatel are some of the grape varieties with the longest history and greatest presence in the Mediterranean.
