Around one-hundred kilometres east of Madrid, Uclés DO is a wine region of Castilla-La Mancha, best known for its wines from the Cencibel (Tempranillo) grape. Other permitted red grapes are Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, whilst white wines can be made from Chardonnay, Verdejo, Moscatel, Macabeo and Sauvignon Blanc. The appellation’s diverse topography creates three sub-zones, with each set of distinct growing contusions expressed in the wines they produce.
