The wine region of Manchuela
Castile-La Mancha DOP between the Júcar and Cabriel valleys, plateaus at 600-1,000 m. Signature native Bobal red king (~40% of the vineyard): coloured and fresh with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, herbs and a mineral touch, round tannins and a juicy palate — lively thanks to altitude, fleshy yet refreshing. Also supple Tempranillo, dense Monastrell, fruity Garnacha, peppery Syrah. Lively Macabeo and Verdejo whites.
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: Cinsault
Cinsault is a southern black grape variety that can be found in the blends of most Mediterranean appellations, but most often as an accessory grape variety. It is undoubtedly most present in certain rosé wines (in Corbières, Côtes-de-Provence, etc.): it gives these wines highly appreciated aromas of strawberry, peach and raspberry. In vin de pays (IGP), it is often vinified on its own, usually as a rosé.
