Founded in 1940 by D. Juan Oliveros Perea, Bodegas Oliveros is situated in Andalucia along the Mediterranean coast near Portugal. The area earned DO status (Condado de Huelva) in 1964 and is ideal for winegrape growing with both Mediterranean and Atlantic influences that boasts ample sunshine and dry conditions. Over 80% of the vineyards consist of the white variety Zalema, which can be made into a wide variety of styles, from sparkling, table wine and fortified styles.
