This wine originates from Spain and holds a Denominación de Origen classification. It is made entirely from Tempranillo, a principal Spanish grape variety that is frequently cultivated in prominent wine regions such as Rioja and Ribera del Duero, as well as internationally in California. In this specific region, the grape is locally known as Cencibel and forms the backbone of the classic Reserva wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValdepeñas, which translates to \"Valley of Rocks,\" is located in the southern part of Castilla-La Mancha within the Ciudad Real province, approximately 200 kilometers south of Madrid. Almost entirely surrounded by the vast La Mancha appellation, Valdepeñas maintains its own independent DO status, which was granted in 1932, making it one of Spain's oldest recognized wine regions. The area has a deeply rooted wine history dating back to Roman times and served for centuries as the preferred wine supplier to the capital city of Madrid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards in Valdepeñas are situated on a high plateau at an elevation of 700 to 800 meters above sea level. The soils are highly diverse, primarily consisting of red calcareous earth, limestone, sand, and clay with a high stone content and excellent drainage. The climate is distinctly continental and extremely dry, characterized by significant diurnal temperature shifts. Summers are scorching, with temperatures often exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, while winters are harsh, bringing frost down to minus 10 degrees. Combined with low rainfall and over 2,500 hours of annual sunshine, these rugged conditions naturally protect the vines from diseases and ensure a high concentration in the harvested grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FESOYA, S.A.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57716677935430,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1778_c1efe5ee-c143-4af2-904b-0775cce49993.jpg?v=1793099941","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/valdepenas-castillo-pastores-1995-1","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
