Doña Felisa Winery.Founded in 1999, Bodega Doña Felisa was born from the commitment of it´s founders,
José Maria Losantos, and his wife Gema Alonso.
Natives of Burgos, they discovered the city of Ronda and fell instantly in love, not only with the City, but with this marvelous corner of Andalucía which offers such unequalled conditions for the elaboration of fine wines.
Their passion for wine gave them no choice but to found the Bodega Doña Felia, which is now a prosperous business.
The Bodega is one hundred percent a family undertaking, with the second generation of the family now consolidating the project, and ensuring that the Bodega Doña Felisa continues as one of the most renouned and innovative bodegas in Andalucia.
Surrounded by the Serranía Rondeña and located in an area known as
CHINCHILLA, it falls within the D.O. Sierras de Malaga: and lies close to the ancient Roman city of Acinipo, where, a century before Christ, fine wines were created to be exported to the whole Roman Empire.
Elaboration and MaturationThe several, distinct wines created by the Bodega Doña Felisa are the fruit of a century’s long study of the area, with one objective – the production of wines of the highest quality.
Our wines are elaborated through a process controlled at all stages: combining the cultivation of the vineyard, selection of the grapes to be picked, which are then harvested by-hand.
Thus our wine is grown and matured exclusively to our own design and conception, allowing us to offer to wine lovers a product of the highest quality.
