Alcázar de San Juan · Ciudad Real
It all began in September 1939, when Argelio Ortega, the second son of a family of livestock farmers from La Mancha, opened the first butcher's shop at number 19 on the central Emilio Castelar street in Alcázar de San Juan, Ciudad Real. It soon set itself apart from the rest by turning the shop into a point of reference thanks to the quality of its products, making Ortega synonymous with prestige. The opening of new shops in Tomelloso, Campo de Criptana, Pedro Muñoz and Herencia, and a second one in Alcázar de San Juan, bears witness to the company’s expansion and success. Now, in the full 21st century, the fourth generation of the Ortega family is at the helm of a business that is firmly committed to innovation. We have always had a butcher's shop specialising in meat, and our gourmet shop, for which we have carefully selected numerous products of the highest quality at reasonable prices. Our wine cellar at Ortega offers a selection of thousands of wines from all Spanish appellations of origin, from producers already committed to tradition or to innovation, from large or small wineries.
Small and large domestic producers. Wines from Castilla-La Mancha. With and without DO. Family wineries. Selection of international wines. Large formats.
This was one of the first shops where I bought wine. There I experienced that overwhelming feeling in front of so many bottles: which one do I choose? what do I buy? Luckily, there is a fantastic team behind it, who guide you, advise you and are usually spot on, and in my case, that was exactly the case. Today at Casa Ortega I lose myself and unwind, hidden among regions, vintages and many interesting things, with some great prices and guaranteed quality. Casa Ortega has an exquisite selection of products - butchery and gourmet food -, a very well chosen and complete collection of wines, highlighting producers from its (our) land, Castilla-La Mancha, and small details of small businesses that make all the difference - I won’t say more, go and see for yourselves - . The ideal place for a gift or a treat for yourself. I always come back.
