Manchuela DO is a relatively large wine region around one-hundred kilometres southeast of Cuenca. Up until 1982, the area was part of the larger La Mancha DO, but driven by a desire to deliver quality wines through innovative practice and new technology, growers set about establishing their own appellation with these principal aims. Their wish was granted in 2000, when Manchuela received its own DO designation, and today, the area is known for its red wines from Bobal, Cencibel (Tempranillo) and Garnacha amongst others.
