Economy

Algueñense agriculture is based on the cultivation -in rain-fed lands- of the vine -mainly- almonds and olives, characterized by the predominance of small-scale farming and “part-time agriculture”. It is worth mentioning the elaboration and aging of excellent wines in the Bodega Cooperativa de Algueña. This groups the farmers of the municipality and other bordering, and is considered one of the most important in the province. His wines are very demanded for the realization of mixtures with the famous technique of “coupage”, to give color, graduation, and in definite quality, to other wines. They are sold “in bulk” and bottled: Torreviñas red double pasta, Torreviñas pink “Lágrima”, white Torreviñas, red aging “Casa Jiménez”, Fondonet (Monastrell Dulce) and the precious Fondillón. Wines with Denomination of Origin.
