About Casa Balaguer

Vinessens was set up in 2008 in Villena (Alicante) with the aim of showcasing the region’s landscape and character. It is run by Andrés Carull and Marta Ribera, two winemakers and both from winemaking families, who work to make natural and organic garage wines. In 2017, Vinessens took over Casa Balaguer, previously managed by Rafa Bernabé, and they were brought together to form Casa Balaguer-Vinessens, holding onto the original character of all the wines, but with updated labels. The vineyards are in the Alicante town of Villena. They enjoy a mainly continental climate with big temperature contrasts, although they are also influenced by the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea. The vines have official organic farming certification and the harvest is carried out manually at the optimum point of ripeness.
