The Winery

 

BODEGAS BOCOPA was established in 1987, when a group of wineries in Alicante joined together to improve the marketing of their production. Then it was decided to park the sale of bulk and focus more on bottled wine in order to provide an outlet for most of the production of wine cellars in Alicante. A decision that would prove to be fundamental for the future of the winery.

In 1990, Bocopa was recognized as the first Association of Grape Agricultural Producers (APA) in Spain. This was not a trivial event, since this recognition had fundamental economic consequences for the future. Thanks to it, an important subsidy from the European Economic Community was obtained, which was mainly used to move the facilities from Pinoso, where they were originally located, to Petrer, and to start up its own bottling plant.

In 1993 it launched its emblematic Marina Alta wine onto the market, recognized worldwide and that same year at the most important wine contest in the world, VINEXPO in Bordeaux, it won the gold medal. After this recognition, the first 50,000 bottles were sold out in just a few days.

It is currently one of the largest and most important wineries in the Valencian Community with multiple recognized wines and an extensive range of organic and sparkling wines.
