Bodegas Cueva

Bodegas Cueva operates out of an 18th-century building in the center of La Portera, a small village in the Utiel-Requena D.O. Winemaker Mariano Taberner formally established the project in 2000. The winery works with approximately 10 hectares of vineyards, split between estate-owned parcels and fruit sourced from growers in the region whom Taberner works with closely throughout the year.

Bodegas Cueva was among the first producers in Valencia to receive organic certification from the Comité de Agricultura Ecológica de la Comunidad Valenciana (CAECV). No synthetic chemicals have been used on the vineyards. The estate includes centenarian vines of Bobal, Tempranillo, and Tardana. Taberner's focus on the near-extinct Tardana variety has been central to the winery's identity — it is used in several wines across the portfolio, including skin-contact, sparkling, and still white styles.

In the cellar, Taberner uses indigenous yeasts exclusively. Wines are bottled without fining, filtration, or added sulfites. The underground cellars at La Portera maintain a naturally cool and stable temperature, which aids fermentation control without mechanical intervention. Total annual production is approximately 20,000 bottles across all wines.
