If we had to describe our Protected Designation of Origin, we would do it with a glass of our Bobal wine. The topography, the vegetation, the winds, the color of the soil, the changes from plot to plot, village to village, all show the rich diversity of our singular terroir.

​

The winemaking history of the D.O.P Utiel-Requena dates back more than 2,500 years, as shown by the important prehistoric Iberian sites found in the region.

“Utiel-Requena, the Land of Bobal”

In this small, almost circular plateau of about 1,800 square km, situated 70 km inland in the Valencian province, you will find around 34,000 hectares of vines cultivated in calcareous clay-like soils at an altitude of between 600 and 900 meters.

The D.O.P Utiel-Requena is a region of red wines, where our star grape, the Bobal represents over 80 per cent of production. It is the second most cultivated spanish red variety in Spain, after the Tempranillo.

The terroir is characterized by a unique combination of Mediterranean and Continental climate. The Mediterranean breezes refresh and humidify the nights, while warm winds blow in from the interior plateau of La Mancha to dry the vines.

​

The vegetation in this region is strongly marked by the influence of the Mediterranean, and our vines grow alongside almond, walnut, olive, pine and oak trees. The abundance of aromatic plants such as fennel, rosemary and thyme also influences our wines. 

​

Thanks to these unique conditions of our terroir, we benefit from a natural organic viticulture, not having to use pesticides and herbicides.
