The wine region of La Mancha

World's largest contiguous wine area (190,000 ha), south of Madrid. Accessible, sunny wines: Tempranillo (here Cencibel) in full quality rise, supple reds with notes of ripe cherry, plum and spices; spicy Syrah, firm Cabernet Sauvignon, round Merlot. Light neutral Airén whites (75% of the vineyard), fresh Macabeo (Viura). Dry, hot continental climate, limestone and clay soils.

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: Draft liquor (champagne)

After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
