About the Castilla-La Mancha
Castilla-La Mancha is a large region which lies south and east of the Spanish capital Madrid. Harsh is the best way to sum up the vine-growing conditions here, hot, dry Castilla-La Mancha, more than half of Spain's grapes are grown here. In recent decades (and particularly since 1986, when Spain joined the European Union), a winemaking revolution has begun to transform this image of Castilla-La Mancha's wines.
