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: Blanc de blancs (champagne)
Champagne made only from the Chardonnay grape. The expression has been somewhat overused by the intensive use made of it by certain large distributors of white table wines (or sparkling wines) who were thus seeking to promote their product.
