The Valencian Community, located on the eastern coast of Spain, is a burgeoning wine region renowned for the diversity and growing quality of its wines. Benefiting from a favourable Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot summers, this region offers an exceptional terroir that promotes the cultivation of various grape varieties. The varied soils, ranging from alluvial plains to more arid lands, allow for the production of wines with distinct flavour profiles.
The region is distinguished by its native grape varieties such as Monastrell, Bobal, and Moscatel, as well as the use of international varieties. Monastrell red wines are particularly valued for their richness and intensity, while white wines, often made from Moscatel, charm with their freshness and floral aromas.
The Valencian Community encompasses several denominations of origin, including Utiel-Requena and Alicante, which are gaining growing recognition on the global wine scene. This region, undergoing significant wine renovation, draws the attention of both novices and seasoned oenophiles, promising a rewarding discovery for those who venture there.
