The Grupo Coviñas story began in 1965 in the town of Requena in the Valencia region, when ten cooperatives in the area joined forces to set up a distillery. Coviñas was born as a second-degree cooperative, that is to say a large cooperative that brought together ten cooperatives from Requena and the area around it, Villargordo del Cabriel and Venta del Moro.
It was two years later, in 1967, that this group acquired a winery in the municipality, close to the distillery and, without giving up distilling, began to make “Vino de la Reina” (Wine of the Queen). This was the first quality bottled wine from the area now part of the Utiel-Requena DO and was named in honour of the Queen of the Grape Harvest Festival.
Between 1978 and 1979 the members of the cooperative decided to build a bottling plant.
In 1985, “Vino de la Reina” was renamed “Enterizo”, a brand that has gone from strength to strength to establish itself as one of the winery’s flagship wines.
Coviñas began its international expansion in 1994, when it started exporting its “Monte Mayor” range to Europe, initiating a period of continuous growth and development.
In 2003 Coviñas stopped distilling to focus entirely on wine. This was also the year in which it inaugurated a large ageing hall capable of holding 10,000 casks.
In 2007, Coviñas received the top “Agri-food Quality” award from the region’s Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in recognition of its continuous development and its unstinting efforts to improve quality
One year later, in 2008, Coviñas extended its facilities to enable the production of Cava and began producing this sparkling wine using the méthode traditionnelle, in accordance with the regulations of the Cava Denomination of Origin.
Over the last decade, Grupo Coviñas has embarked on an expansion phase that has seen it quadruple its turnover. During this period it has continued to improve its facilities and acquire state of the art technology. It has also been expanding its range of wines, and developing premium and limited edition projects, always looking to adapt to the tastes and needs of consumers.
Coviñas is awarded with the DWM Wine Trophy as the World’s Best Cooperative Winery. It is an extraordinarily important award, the Olympic Games of wine, where the top and most garlanded wineries compete against each other to be chosen as the best.
En la última década, Grupo Coviñas ha desarrollado una fase de expansión que le ha llevado a multiplicar por cuatro sus cifras de negocio.
During this period it has continued to improve its facilities and acquire state of the art technology. También ha ido ampliando su gama de vinos, y desarrollando proyectos exclusivos y de edición limitada, intentando siempre adecuarse a los gustos y necesidades de los consumidores.
Our objective
is to sustain and grow the local economy
based on the cultivation of the 10,000 hectares of
vineyards belonging to the 3,000 families that
make up Coviñas and represent 40% of the wine
produced under the Utiel-Requena appellation of origin.
Our success
is a combination of several factors:
the quality of our wines, the excellence
of our service and our ability to
adapt to the needs of each
and every market .
Grupo Coviñas is the leading winery in the DO Utiel-Requena,
owner of almost half of the region’s vineyards and which represents more than 3,000 growers under the banner of cooperativism,
and standing for the fair treatment of all cooperative members
equality and solidarity as a model of success and as an engine for economic growth.
A range of domestic and international awards confirm this
and Coviñas was named World’s Best Cooperative Winery by DWM, under the patronage of the OIV (the International Organisation of Vine and Wine), the UIOE (the International Union of Oenologists)
and the World Federation of International Wine Competitions.
