Utiel-Requena

Producers and Wine Reviews about the "D.O. Utiel-Requena" Show in wein.plus:places

The DO area for red and white wines is located in the Spanish region of Valenciana in the Levante and is named after two towns in the centre. Extreme climatic conditions prevail. In the hot summers there are temperatures of up to 40 °Celsius, in the cold winters down to minus 15 °Celsius.

Vineyards & grape varieties

The vineyards at 600 to 1,000 metres above sea level cover around 40,000 hectares. The main variety, Bobal, covers 32,000 hectares and is traditionally cultivated using the bush method. The majority of the vines are over 50 years old and some are even up to 100 years old. The correspondingly low yields produce red wines rich in tannins and extracts. Other red wine varieties are Tempranillo, Garnacha Tinta, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. The white wine varieties with 5% of the total volume are Macabeo, Planta Nova, Merseguera, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
