Growth is concentrated in a handful of regions, led by Castilla-La Mancha, which alone accounts for around 44% of Spain\u2019s organic vineyard and is home to F\u00e9lix Sol\u00eds Avantis\u2019 headquarters and largest wineries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded by F\u00e9lix Sol\u00eds Fern\u00e1ndez in 1952, the winery has remained family-owned ever since and became a wine group in 1977. Today the Sol\u00eds brothers, the family\u2019s third generation, continue to lead the company, blending tradition with modern techniques. At the heart of their philosophy is the belief that \u201cwine should be available to everyone\u201d \u2013 high quality yet affordable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">F\u00e9lix Sol\u00eds Avantis offers the widest wine portfolio in the Spanish market (NielsenIQ), with wineries in six key regions \u2013 Valdepe\u00f1as, La Mancha, Ribera del Duero, Rueda, La Rioja and Toro \u2013 and distribution in more than 135 countries. This breadth, combined with ongoing research, enables it to craft internationally acclaimed wines at competitive prices and to tailor its ranges by sales channel, responding efficiently to market demands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The F\u00e9lix Sol\u00eds winery and headquarters in Valdepe\u00f1as has grown into one of the largest \u2013 and most innovative \u2013 wine-producing facilities in the world. It holds Sustainable Wineries for Climate Protection (SWfCP) certification, audited under the Spanish Wine Federation\u2019s scheme across governance, social, economic and environmental performance \u2013 a nationally and internationally recognised guarantee that the winery\u2019s decision-making and daily management meet strict sustainability criteria.<\/p>\n<p>Commitment to sustainability<\/p>\n<p>For more than 70 years, F\u00e9lix Sol\u00eds Avantis has crafted its wines with a strong emphasis on the land, the climate and people, taking a holistic approach that seeks to minimise environmental impact and contribute positively to its communities. Its sustainability strategy focuses on the most material aspects of the group\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n<p>That commitment begins in the group\u2019s own vineyards and with the more than 2,200 independent winegrowers and cooperatives it works with. The winery promotes water stewardship through recirculation projects and optimised irrigation, protecting resources and mitigating environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, the company sourced 99% of the electricity for all its wineries from certified renewable sources. The same year, the main winery in Valdepe\u00f1as commissioned a solar farm of 5,458 panels covering 41,662 square metres, complementing two existing photovoltaic systems. Together, the installations cover the equivalent of seven football pitches and supplied nearly 20% of the energy consumed at the winery \u2013 putting it on track to meet its strategic goal of generating 25% of its total energy consumption in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>F\u00e9lix Sol\u00eds Avantis is also lightweighting its bottles to cut its carbon footprint. Its lightweighting programme now spans 77 stock-keeping units (SKUs) in the UK and removed 981 tonnes of glass August 2026 MAT from the UK supply chain in the past year, cutting freight-related CO\u2082 emissions. That includes more than 3 million ultra-light bottles introduced in 2025, each weighing 300g, down from 390g.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-727508 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Felix-Solis-Avantis-range-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"410\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Organic range<\/p>\n<p>With such a broad selection, there is something for everyone in the F\u00e9lix Sol\u00eds Avantis award-winning portfolio. At the heart of its sustainability offer are four organic labels: Blume, Caliza, Rock &amp; Roots, and Castillo de Mureva.<\/p>\n<p>Blume Organic, produced in Rueda on the high plateau of Castilla y Le\u00f3n, is made from certified organic Verdejo grapes. This vegan wine offers fresh grassy and fruity aromas, with a gentle herbaceous edge balanced by crisp natural acidity \u2013 a harmonious match for rice and pasta dishes, warm salads, creamy sauces, and grilled vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>Caliza celebrates the limestone terroir of La Mancha in central Spain, where its Tempranillo and Verdejo grapes are organically grown. The Tempranillo is a smooth, balanced, easy-drinking wine with aromas of strawberries and red fruits \u2013 perfect with pasta, meats, cold cuts, and soft cheeses.<\/p>\n<p>Rock &amp; Roots is a 100% organic range introduced in 2017, crafted from grapes grown in Castilla and Valdepe\u00f1as and spanning Tempranillo and Verdejo\u2013Sauvignon Blanc. Since launch, it has become one of the group\u2019s fastest-growing labels, part of an organic portfolio whose sales continue to grow strongly.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Castillo de Mureva from Castilla-La Mancha is the winery\u2019s lead on trade organic Tempranillo and Verdejo wines, offering high quality at an affordable price.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Together, these four labels reinforce F\u00e9lix Sol\u00eds Avantis\u2019 position as a quality-led, sustainability-driven Spanish wine producer.<\/p>\n<p>Related news<\/p>\n<p>\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedrinksbusiness.com\/2026\/08\/collaboration-and-action-at-the-fore-of-sustainability-in-drinks-2026\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                                    \u2018Collaboration and action\u2019 at the fore of Sustainability in Drinks 2026<br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/p>\n<p>\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedrinksbusiness.com\/2026\/08\/vinedos-organicos-emiliana-sustainability-is-what-excellence-looks-like\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                                    Vi\u00f1edos Organicos Emiliana: sustainability is \u2018what excellence looks like\u2019<br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/p>\n<p>\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedrinksbusiness.com\/2026\/07\/chateau-galoupet-puts-sustainability-at-the-heart-of-rose\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                                    Ch\u00e2teau Galoupet puts sustainability at the heart of ros\u00e9<br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spain cultivates more organic vines than any other country in the world, and F\u00e9lix Sol\u00eds Avantis stands at&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79546,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[29889,19275,17,1709,29890,4194],"class_list":["post-79545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-spain","tag-felix-solis-avantis","tag-partner-content","tag-spain","tag-sustainability","tag-valdepenas","tag-wine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79545"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79545\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
