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: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
