The wine region of Valdepeñas
DO of southern Castilla-La Mancha on a high plain (~700 m), kingdom of Tempranillo under an extreme climate ("nine months of winter, three of hell"). Tempranillo, locally Cencibel: structured, fruity reds with signature notes of ripe cherry, plum, vanilla, leather, tobacco and sweet spices, round tannins — excellent value, from young to long oak-aged Gran Reserva. Also Airén whites (Spain's most planted), fresh and neutral. ~24,000-30,000 ha.
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.
The word of the wine: Phylloxera
Aphid that came from America and ravaged European vineyards at the end of the 19th century. It lives on the roots of the vine, from which it pumps the sap. The only vines capable of resisting it had to be imported from the United States, and then grafted onto their root system the wood of traditional French grape varieties. Today, grafted vines are always planted.
