Manchuela

Manchuela is a Spanish protected wine appellation in Castilla-La Mancha, useful for drinkers who want to move beyond the best-known Spanish regions. Its practical label identity is Bobal-focused inland DO between the Jucar and Cabriel river valleys. Typical wines are fresh reds and rosados with dark berry, violet, pepper, and lively acidity; whites from local and national grapes. The vineyard context is high plateau river influence with limestone, clay, and cooling night temperatures.
