The DO region of La Mancha in Spain is part of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha. It comprises 182 municipalities in the four provinces of Albacete (19,036 ha), Ciudad Real (74,264 ha), Cuenca (31,249 ha) and Toledo (27,933 ha). The DO area of Valdepeñas is an enclave on the southern edge. The area used to be known primarily as a producer of mass-produced white wines for quick consumption. Since the DO classification in 1976, great efforts have been made to improve quality standards and, following EU entry in 1986, a third of the vineyards were grubbed up. In 2020, "La Mancha Excellent" was introduced as the highest quality level.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
