Finca Élez

Producer description of "Manuel Manzaneque S.L."

The "Manuel Manzaneque Finca Élez" winery is located in the municipality of El Bonillo (province of Albacete) in the Spanish region of Castilla-La Mancha. It was founded in 1992 by former actor and Madrid theatre producer Manuel Manzaneque and then acquired by Olallo Villoldo and Llanos Ruiz in 2020. The "Finca Élez" area was classified as the highest Spanish wine quality level Vino de Pago in 2003. The vineyards in the Sierra de Alcarz mountain region cover 40 hectares of vines at 1,080 metres above sea level on clay-sand soils interspersed with limestone and marl. The red wine varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah and Tempranillo are cultivated, some of which were imported from France. The vineyards have been cultivated according to certified organic viticulture rules since 2011. The product range includes various Vino de Pago wines made from these grape varieties, which are matured in stainless steel tanks or barrique barrels, depending on the type of wine. Around 200,000 bottles of wine are produced each year.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
