ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

The legacy which the original 131 founding families from Villanueva de Alcardete consolidated in Bodegas Latúe, as the economic and social motor of the municipality, has been maintained from generation to generation, thanks to our effort, commitment and dedication.

Currently 450 families’ descendants of the founding members, represented by 630 associates with an average age of 55 years and an average estate size of 7 Hectares, constitute the soul of Bodegas Latúe.

Members and workers share work, effort and enthusiasm in the success of Bodegas Latúe, shaping a great family, the Latúe’s family.

Bodegas Latúe began as San Isidro Cooperative in 1954. At that time 131 winegrowers were determined to produce exceptional wines for consumption in Spain. Their commitment was demonstrated by maintaining regular attention to the vineyards and prioritizing quality, working as hard as necessary regardless of the weather or geopolitical conditions. With the increased demand for their products, more than 50 years of experience, and the growth of a great family team, in 2007 San Isidro implemented an export business model. This name represents the quality and environmental care that is a historical way of doing business with international companies: Bodegas Latúe is a point of reference in the wine sector. This is by no small measure a direct result of its experience producing certified organic and ecologically sound wines while exceeding the latest technical standards.
