Producer: Bodega Iniesta, Fuentealbilla
In his home region of Manchuela, Andrés Iniesta fulfilled a dream by founding Bodega Iniesta. The family estate has grown from an initial 10 hectares to more than 400 hectares today. The winery lies between the Cabriel and Júcar rivers in the heart of D.O. Manchuela. Alongside indigenous varieties such as Macabeo, Bobal and Graciano, international grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Petit Verdot also thrive here. The Mediterranean microclimate, together with modern cellar technology, forms the basis for structured, characterful wines with a clear style.
