MOVIALSA

What MOVIALSA does

MOVIALSA (Mostos, Vinos y Alcoholes, S.A.) is a privately held, fourth-generation family-owned Spanish agro-industrial company headquartered in Campo de Criptana, Castilla-La Mancha, operating across five production sites and more than 2,000 hectares of owned agricultural land. The company manufactures and sells bulk wines, grape musts, alcohols (including aguardientes, neutral and distilled alcohol), tartaric acid E334, calcium tartrate E354, grape seeds, olive pomace oil, olive stones, and organic biofertilizers, operating under a circular economy model in which grape and olive byproducts are converted into functional ingredients, soil inputs, and energy. Vertical integration extends into energy: three cogeneration plants totaling 49.6MW — two powered by Bergen B36 engines and historically fueled via a NEDGIA-supplied natural gas conversion — together with a biomass plant with steam turbine and a gasification facility, produce electricity for the national grid and thermal energy for in-house distillation and concentration. Since 2020 the company has expanded into natural extracts (E163 colorant, anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins) for international nutraceutical, functional food, and pet food customers.

The go-to-market is sales-led B2B: direct sales teams serve Spanish wineries, food processors, energy buyers, and international nutraceutical customers, with bulk wine and must products shipped in GRG 1000L containers, 22,000L flexitanks, and 25,000L cisterns. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is transaction-based with volume discounts. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, and SURE certifications, and operates as part of Grupo Huertas, a conglomerate of more than ten family-controlled entities that share agricultural, processing, and distribution functions.

Revenue streams are diversified across wine/must/alcohol (commodity core), natural extracts (higher-margin growth), and energy/byproducts (circular-economy uplift). The wine brand "Monte Don Lucio" is produced at the related Finca La Blanca winery under DO La Mancha, and has earned multiple medals at the DO La Mancha quality competition between 2021 and 2024. The company has been recognized for innovation in cogeneration (Premio Shell a la Innovación Tecnológica 2025) and circular economy (La Razón IV Premios Excelencia Empresarial 2023).

The company also produces byproducts such as tartaric acid E334, calcium tartrate E354, grape seeds, olive pomace oil, olive stones, and biofertilizers, and operates three cogeneration plants totaling 49.6MW for energy and biomass valorization.

Product overview

MOVIALSA is a wine and alcohol industry with a diversified product portfolio organized into five main categories: Mostos (grape must products including fresh, concentrated, and organic variants), Vinos (bulk wines in white, rosé, and red including varietals and sparkling base), Alcoholes (aguardientes, neutral and distilled alcohols), Extractos Naturales (natural food colorants and purified grape extracts including anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins for nutraceutical applications), and Otros/by-products (tartaric acid, calcium tartrate, grape seeds, olive pomace oil, olive stones, and biomass/fertilizers from circular economy valorization). The company operates under a circular economy model 'From Land to Life' where virtually all grape and olive by-products are transformed into value-added products including energy from cogeneration.
