The wine region of Ribera del J&uacutecar

DO of Castile-La Mancha along the Júcar river (~9,000 ha), calcium-rich alluvial soils, marked continental climate concentrating aromas and substance. Cencibel (alias Tempranillo) is the signature red: balanced and fruity with red cherry, plum, herbs, vanilla and a spicy oaked touch, smooth tannins. Bobal, an indigenous Levante variety, in dense tannic reds (blackberry, candied plum). Firm Cabernet Sauvignon.


The wine region of Castille

Cradle of great Castilian reds, high-altitude plateaus (450-1000 m) along the Duero. Tempranillo king (aka Tinta de Toro, Tinto Fino): powerful, concentrated, structured reds with notes of black cherry, plum, leather, tobacco and spice, firm tannins from altitude and cool nights. Stars: Ribera del Duero (Vega Sicilia, Pingus), fleshy Toro, Bierzo (floral, mineral Mencía). Lively, herbaceous Verdejo whites from Rueda.
