D.O.
MÉNTRIDA
Méntrida, an old but
little known winemaking area, lies in the northwest of the
province of Toledo. Nowadays, it is beginning to show its
potential. Local producers have acquired stainless steel
equipment to complement the grapes, soil and climate, and
produce good modern wines.
In consequence, after a significant drop in sales during
the 1980s, Méntrida DO is enjoying a renaissance similar to
those occurring in Madrid and La Mancha DOs - although it
has come more slowly here, due to less easily available
capital for investment.
The majority of
the DO production is in red wines, as 80% of the vineyard
surface area is planted with the
Garnacha red-wine grape.
