identificando las variedades y los pagos,

observando las formas de cultivo, catando ycomprando los vinos en la

propia casa elaboradora y visitando lasriquezas artsticas de cada comarca.

Normalmente el enoturismo va acompaado delconocimiento de las especialidades

gastronmicas de las regiones vincolas. Estaprctica puede ser an ms interesante cuando

se hace coincidir el viaje con ciertas festividadeslocales de la vendimia o relacionadas con lacultura del vino.

Recreational and cultural activity, which consists in

traveling throughout the different wine areas,

visiting vineyards and wineries, identifying the

varieties and pagos (the spanish term that defines

superior quality wines made from the grapes ofspecific vineyards), observing the different

methods of cultivation, enjoying wine tastings and

purchasing the wines at the wineries themselves,

apart from visiting the cultural and artistic heritage

of each region. Normally this type of tourism walks

hand-in-hand with knowledge of the gastronomic

specialties of the wine regions. This practice can be

even more interesting if the trip coincides with

certain local festivities such as the grape harvest

or festivities related with the culture of wine.

on pan y vino se hace el camino, dice un desgastado proverbio. Pero

el uso excesivo de la sentencia no le resta un pice de verdad. Desde siempre,

el vino ha sido uno de los mejores compaeros de fatigas de los hombres va-

gabundos. Acaso nuestro admirado Ulises, el mejor viajero, no echaba

mano a menudo de los odres de vino que llevaba en sus naves? Adems de eso,

el hroe salv la vida gracias a su reserva de caldos, cuando ide la treta de

emborrachar al temible cclope Polifemo para cegarle y burlarle. Y nuestro Don

Quijote? El gran libro que explora los claros y anchos territorios manchegos

est impregnado de ventas y posadas en donde las tinajas y los pellejos de vi-

no alegran el nimo a los cansados caminantes. Tambin corre el vino en las

pginas de Shakespeare y en las de Joyce, igual que en las de muchos otros

grandes escritores, junto a hombres deseosos de viajar, como el inolvidable

vitalista Falstaff o el bondadoso Leopold Bloom.Por mi parte, no concibo un viaje sin el gusto de probar los caldos de

cada lugar adonde me conducen mis pasos. Los he probado en Surfrica, en

California, en Nueva Zelanda e, incluso, en Canad, en cuya pennsula de Ni-

gara uno muy curioso que llaman ice wine (vino de hielo). Desde luego, que los

cato sin tregua en Espaa. Y por supuesto en La Mancha, la ltima vez siguien-

do, precisamente, las rutas de Don Quijote. Ahora que las barricas han sus-

tituido a las tinajas en la regin vincola ms grande del mundo, los caldos de

esta generosa geografa han ganado la sutileza y la delicadeza necesarias pa-

ra competir con los mejores.

Alexis Zorba el griego, el inolvidable personaje del escritor Nikos Ka-

zanzakis, era un infatigable viajero. En un pasaje del libro, mientras recorren

los campos cretenses, comenta a su compaero: Una vieja cepa echa ramas,

hay en ellas unos adornos cidos colgados, y pasa el tiempo y el sol los madu-

ra: se ponen dulces como miel y se les llama entonces uvas; se les pisa, se al-

macena el zumo extrado en unos toneles; all fermenta solo, se le destapa elda de San Jorge Bebedor y qu prodigio, es vino! Bebes el zumo rojo y tu al-

ma se acrecienta, se siente capaz de desafiar a Dios para que lidie contigo.

Por cierto, ya que hablamos de dioses, vale recordar que ningn otro

alimento o bebida tiene uno propio, mientras que el vino cuenta con el joven

Dioniso, la deidad ms viajera del Olimpo. No solo recorri Grecia, Tracia, Li-

dia, Frigia, Creta, Naxos y Delfos, sino que incluso lleg a alcanzar la India.

Y llevaba siempre un vaso de vino en la mano y adornaba su cabeza con una

corona tejida con ramas de vid. No sera mala idea hacerle hijo predilecto de

Castilla-La Mancha.

on pan y vino se hace el camino (All that is needed to walk

the path is bread and wine), says a well worn-out proverb.

However, despite excessive use of the phrase its truth continues

to be justified. Wine has forever been the best comrade-in-arms

of the vagabond traveler. Is not our admired Ulysses one of the

best travelers ever? Did he not often resort to the wineskins his

vessels carried? Apart from this, the hero even saved his lifethanks to his reserves of wine, when he decided to make the

fearsome Cyclops Polyphemus as drunk as possible to then blind

and evade him. And how about our own Don Quixote? The great

book that explores the pristine and widespread Manchego

territories overflows with mention of taverns and inns in which the

earthenware vats and wineskins brought joy to the weary

travelers. Wine also steeps the pages of Shakespeare and Joyce,

as is the case with many of the greatest writers, along with men

desirous of travel, such as the unforgettable vitalist Falstaff or the

kindhearted Leopold Bloom.On my part I am unable to conceive a trip without the pleasure

of trying the wines of each and every place where my footsteps

have led me. I have tried the wines of South Africa, those of

California, New Zealand and even those of Canada, where they

make a curious wine in their Niagara Peninsula, which they call Ice

Wine. And indeed in Spain I relentlessly enjoy and pursue the

wines. And of course in La Mancha, the last time precisely

following Don Quixotes routes. Now that the barrels and casks

have substituted the earthenware vats of olden days in the

greatest wine-producing region in the world, the wines fromthis bountiful geography have gained the necessary subtlety and

delicacy to compete with the very best.

Alexis Zorba, Zorba the Greek, unforgettable character

created by the writer Nikos Kazanzakis, was an unflagging

traveler. In one of the books passages, while he travels the

countryside of Crete, he comments with his companion: An old vine

stock sprouts branches, with hanging acidy clusters of

adornments, and time passes and sun ripens the fruit: sweet as

honey it turns and then they are called grapes; stomped on they

are and the juice that is obtained is stored in barrels; there on itsown it ferments, and on the day of Saint George the Drinker the

contents are revealed, and Voila, what a prodigy wine is! You drink

the red juice and your soul swells, and then miracle of miracles, one

is even capable of challenging God in combat.

By the way, given that we are dealing with the Gods, one must

remember that no other single food or drink has its own God, while

wine does indeed count with Young Dionysios, the most traveled of

Mount Olympus Deities. Not only did he travel Greece, Thrace, Lidia,

Frigia, Crete, Naxos and Delphos, but he also even managed to

reach India. And always with a glass of wine in his hand and a wovenwreath of vine branches crowning his head. To appoint him

Favorite Son of Castilla-La Mancha would not be an outrageous idea.

astilla-La Mancha, tan inmensa como desconocida, alberga

en su interior muchos pequeos territorios que cada uno de

ellos, por s mismo, es un tesoro. Descubrir su rico patrimonio cul-

tural e histrico ya es una poderosa razn para acercarse a estas

tierras, pero adems cuenta con una singularidad que la convier-

te en nica en el mundo. El corazn de Espaa se halla salpicado de

tal cantidad de viedos en su basto y variado territorio, que el ro-

jo, ms o menos intenso, de sus tierras va unido indefectiblemen-

te al verde de sus vias. Y como no poda ser de otro modo, la plan-

ta, de arquitectura clsica manchega o diseo vanguardista, de las

bodegas que miman los frutos de estas vides, se alza orgullosa en

esta grandiosa llanura.

Una gran parte de ellas, al menos las que se han agrupa-

do en torno a la asociacin Turismo Enolgico de Castilla-La Man-

cha, no son bodegas al uso. Desde hace unos aos se han compro-

metido con su territorio para hacerlo ms atractivo a los visitantes

y han abierto sus puertas de par en par para dar a conocer la no-

ble y cuidada labor que realizan cada da en estos templos mgicos,

casi sagrados, con el objeto de convertir la uva que cultivan y re-

colectan en el preciado lquido que es el vino.

Esta metamorfosis, que requiere la sabidura que slo

proporciona la experiencia combinada con la aportacin de los ms

reputados enlogos y prestigiosos asesores en viticultura, tambinla han aplicado a sus instalaciones. Y lo han hecho, precisamente,

para que el viajero que recala en estas tierras pueda disfrutar, con

astilla-La Mancha, as immense as it is unknown, holds

many small territories in its interior, which on their own are each

and every one of them, a true treasure. To discover its rich

cultural and historical heritage is in itself a powerful reason to

become acquainted with these lands, although it also counts

with a singularity that makes it unique in the world. The heart of

Spain is sprinkled with such an amount of vineyards throughout its

vast and varied territory, that the more or less intense red of its

soil is inevitably united to the green of its vineyards. And as could

not be otherwise, the silhouette of its wineries, whether of

classical Manchego style architecture or of the most vanguard of

designs, in which the fruits of these vines are pampered, proudly

arise from this grandiose plateau.

A good number of them, at least that have grouped

together in the Enotourism Association of Castilla-La Mancha,

are anything but typical wineries. For some years now they have

been committed with their territory to render it more attractive

to the traveler, having opened their doors wide open to this nobleand painstaking task they carry out day after day in these

magical, practically sacred, temples, the same with the object of

turning the grape they cultivate and harvest into the precious

liquid that wine is.

This metamorphosis, which exacts the wisdom that only

experience combined with the contribution of the most reputed of

enologists and prestigious advisers in viticulture matters can

provide, has also been applied to their facilities. And the reason is

precisely so that the traveler reaching these lands can fully enjoythe pleasures, happiness and joy that wine provides, apart from the

culture that embraces this entire world. However, they have also

Live it, drink it

...Tanto alababa el vino que lo pona por las nubes, aun-

que no se atreva a dejarlo mucho en ellas porque no se aguase.

Esta es una de tantas referencias al vino castellano-manchego del

nclito Miguel de Cervantes en su universal obra Don Quijote de la

Mancha, sin duda, el mejor divulgador de las riquezas de estas

singulares y extraordinarias tierras.

Vvelo, bbelo

..."Tanto alababa el vino que lo pona por las nubes, aunqueno se atreva a dejarlo mucho en ellas porque no se aguase".(Such were his praises of the wine that it reached the clouds, and

yet not for long did he dare to leave it there, were it not to bewatered down).This is merely one of many references written by

the illustrious Miguel de Cervantes in his universal work Don

Quixote of La Mancha, without a doubt, the leading promoter of the

wealth of these singular and extraordinary lands.

toda su intensidad, de los placeres, la alegra, el gozo que propor-

ciona el vino y toda la cultura que gira a su alrededor. Pero, ade-

ms, este cambio lo han abordado ajustndose a unos estndares

de calidad establecidos que son de obligado cumplimiento para to-dos los asociados, porque su meta es que el visitante embriague

sus sentidos con la oferta ms exquisita y selecta en un entorno

envolvente, casi idlico.

Quieren que sus invitados vivan experiencias nicas, inten-

sas, que se impregnen en su memoria como los aromas de sus vi-

nos. No quieren mostrar, sino hacer sentir, vivir, conmover a quie-

nes se deciden a franquear sus puertas. Por eso, las empresas,

en su mayora familiares, que aparecen en esta Gua, se han pre-

ocupado de pasar su saber de generacin en generacin y de re-

cuperar la cultura vitivincola de la regin para mejorarla y desmar-

carse elaborando vinos creativos, diferentes.

Una modernizacin que coloca a estas bodegas de Castilla-

La Mancha en una posicin de liderazgo y las ha permitido dejar

atrs el histrico modelo de produccin de vinos a granel para in-

corporarse a la elaboracin de vinos bajo las distintas Denomina-

ciones de Origen (Valdepeas, Ucls, La Mancha, Almansa, Mn-

trida, Ribera del Jcar, Mondjar, Manchuela y parte de la

denominacin de origen Jumilla), los excepcionales Vinos de Pago,

que son Denominaciones de Origen de un solo productor, o bajo la

indicacin geogrfica Vinos de la Tierra de Castilla. Al ofrecer la po-

sibilidad de compartir estos laboriosos e interesantes procesos, las

bodegas se han propuesto ayudar a sus visitantes a captar el em-

brujo y los duendes que rodean al mundo del vino, para lo que tam-

bin han convertido sus espacios de trabajo en lugares placente-

ros y relajantes.

undertaken this change by adapting to quality standards of

mandatory compliance for all the associates, because their goal is

to insure that the travelers senses are imbued with the most

exquisite and select offer in the most embracing of environments,

one that is practically idyllic. They want their guests to live unique

and intense experiences, experiences that impregnate their

memories with the aromas of their wines. They do not merely want

to display, as what they truly desire is for the traveler to feel, live,

be moved by all that appears before them once they decide to cross

the threshold. Thus the reason why these companies that are listed

in this Guide, most of which are family-run, have insured that their

wisdom is passed-on from generation to generation, recuperating

the regions viniculture to then improve and distance themselves by

elaborating creative and different wines.

This modernization has placed the wineries of Castilla-La

Mancha in a position of leadership, allowing them to leave behind

Adems, cuentan el regalo de su espectacular entorno, que

es una nota de color ms en este particular lienzo. Tierra de paso,

recoge sin embargo en sus surcos la impronta de la amalgama deculturas de las que ha sido punto de encuentro. Tierra de sorpre-

sas, despierta la admiracin de los viajeros al tropezar con sus

hermosos rincones naturales con las surgencias repentinas de

agua, las hoces que han horadado sus ros o los bosques que cor-

tan la habitual vista, casi infinita, del horizonte. Tierra de placeres,

en la que la tradicin de sus vinos se funde en perfecto maridaje

con sus fogones y guisos.

Por eso, caballeros y seoras andantes, debis estar dis-

puestos a vivir y beber cada instante, cada rincn, cada vino que

ofrece el corazn de Espaa, que late para haceros sentir que es-

tis recorriendo el lugar donde nacen los placeres.

the historical model of bulk wine production and incorporating them

in the elaboration of wines under different Denominations of

Origin (Valdepeas, Ucls, La Mancha, Almansa, Mntrida, Ribera

del Jcar, Mondjar, Manchuela and part of the JumillaDenomination of Origin), the outstanding Pago wines, where the

wine producer is a Denomination of Origin himself as well as the

geographical indication Vinos de la Tierra de Castilla (Wines

from the Land of Castille). Given that they offer the possibility of

sharing these diligent and interesting processes, the wineries have

decided to help their guests capture the enchantment and spirits

that surround the world of wine, thus they have also turned their

work spaces into pleasing and relaxing environments.

They also count with the added gift of the spectacularsurroundings, which is another note of color in this very particular

canvas. Land of passage, in its furrows it also gathers together

the imprint of its amalgam of cultures for which it has been the

meeting point. Land of surprises, it awakens the admiration of

travelers as they stumble upon its gorgeous natural corners, with

sudden appearances of water, canyons sculpted by its rivers or

forests that blanket the almost infinite and habitual view of the

horizon. Land of pleasures, in which the tradition of wine blends

in perfect harmony with its kitchens and dishes.Thus errant Knights and Ladies, thou must be willing to live

and drink in each instant, each corner, each and every wine that

Spains Heart thee offers, beating as it does to make the traveler

feel that the place where pleasures are born has been found.

iguiendo el curso del Tajo, se levanta ante los ojos del viaje-

ro el imponente perfil de la Ciudad de las Tres Culturas, de la Ciu-

dad Imperial y Coronada, de la capital romana, visigoda, musul-

mana y cristiana, la Ciudad del Greco, la Ciudad de todos. El Tajo la

abraza y rodea. Toledo, Patrimonio de la Humanidad, se yergue or-gullosa de su historia y su ejemplo. Perderse por las estrechas y

pedregosas calles de su casco antiguo traslada al visitante siglos

atrs, cuando la ciudad acogi durante tres siglos a la cultura ra-

be, juda y cristiana.

La importancia de Toledo a lo largo de la historia queda

constatada por haber ejercido la capitalidad del reino visigodo y se-

de de la Iglesia cristiana. La dominacin rabe la convirti en ejem-

plo de convivencia y propici un perodo de gran riqueza cultural que

ha dejado un legado incomparable. En pocos rincones del mundo se

puede admirar, en un sosegado paseo, las yeseras musulmanas,

las bvedas gticas, los palacios del Renacimiento o las inscripcio-

ollowing the course of the Tajo River, the imposing

profile of the City of Three Cultures arises before the eyes of the

traveler, the Imperial and Crowned City, the Roman, Visigoth,

Muslim and Christian Capital, the City of Greco, the City of All. The

Tajo River embraces and surrounds the city. Toledo, WorldHeritage Site, majestically rises with pride in its history and

example. Losing oneself through the narrow and cobble-stoned

streets of its ancient quarter takes the traveler back in time, to

a time when the city was home to Arab, Jewish and Christian

cultures during more than three centuries.

The importance of Toledo throughout its history is proven

by the fact that it was the capital of the Visigoth Kingdom and

See of the Christian Church. Arab domination turned the city into

Cruzar por las numerosas puertas de la antigua muralla ro-

mana supone entrar a la ciudad-museo. Dentro espera la heren-

cia de siglos de humanidad: la Catedral, el Alczar, la Sinagoga del

Trnsito, la Mezquita del Cristo de la Luz...

Pero la grandiosidad de Toledo no debe ensombrecer las jo-

yas que esconden localidades cercanas y que requieren la atencin

del cultivado viajero. A pocos minutos se encuentra Bargas, don-de han aparecido decenas de yacimientos arqueolgicos con res-

an example of coexistence, representing a period of tremendouscultural wealth that has left behind an incomparable legacy. In

very few corners of the world is it possible to admire Muslim

plasterwork, Gothic vaults, Renaissance palaces or Hebrew

inscriptions in the synagogues by merely strolling through the

streets. We must not forget that culture is responsible for

uniting that which war and the thirst for power of the governors

and armies had set asunder, impregnating the city and its

dwellers with the spirit of coexistence and respect that has

made it universal.

The inheritance of thousands of years of humanity awaits

us by merely crossing the numerous gates of the ancient

Roman walls and entering the museum-city: the Cathedral, the

Fortress, the Synagogue of the Transit, the Mosque of the

Christ of the Light...

However, the grandiosity of Toledo must not overshadow

the jewels hidden in nearby locations, which also draw the

attention of the cultivated traveler. At a distance of just a few

minutes Bargas is to be found, where dozens of archeologicalsites have appeared, the same containing a diversity of

prehistoric remains from the latter Imperial Roman times,

Sacrament Collegiate Church and Don Pedro Is Palace. Land of

castles, vestiges of these fortifications still remain, as is the

case with the Alamn Castle found in Santa Cruz del Retamar.Also very close to the Toledo capital, 24 kilometers to the

south, the city of Sonseca arises, vital and entrepreneur city thathas sweetened half the world with its marzipan industry.

Enjoyinga walk along the banks of the Tajo River,across its bridges and through its gates, apart from theexplosion of color to be reveled in during the CorpusChristi Festivities, or the pleasure of traveling back in timethrough the narrow streets of the ancient quarter.

Trying the many recipes that combine Moorishand Christian influences, such as the cochifrito (deep-friedsuckling pig), partridge stewed with white beans and thewell-known, tortilla a la magra (Lean Meat Omelet). And allof this in the company of a fine wine, without of course forgetting the famous Toledo marzipan, the Christmassweets from Sonseca and the fresh-baked artisan bread

of Bargas.

La bodega, en la que destaca el torren al que se accededesde la entrada principal, est integrada en una casa tpica

manchega con patios encalados y faldones ailes. Adems de la

elaboracin de sus vinos, los propietarios han ampliado su gama de

servicios al enoturismo y ofrecen visitas guiadas a su bodega y vi-

edos, donde se pueden ver los sistemas de vinificacin y crianza

y hacer un recorrido por todo el proceso de la viticultura. Las ca-

tas comentadas, que se realizan en la sala alta del torren en un

acogedor ambiente, estn dirigidas por expertos y permiten dis-frutar de las evoluciones de los distintos vinos en cada momento de

su proceso de maduracin y crianza.

Tambin existe la posibilidad de almorzar en el restauran-

te, con una capacidad para 50 comensales y de realizar eventos al

aire libre en el jardn. Y para los amantes de los caballos, la bode-

ga cuenta con exhibicin caballar de excelente yeguada de pura ra-

za espaola. Adems, han diseado dos circuitos para realizar

paintball, teambuilding, tiro con arco... actividades dirigidas a

grupos de empresa.

Petit Verdot varieties are cultivated for their red wines, along with

Sauvignon Blanc, Muscatel, Macabeo, Verdejo, Riesling and Viognier

varieties for the white wines. It was in the year 2000 when they

decided to build the winery right on the estate itself, the same with

the aim of elaborating their own wines, for which they have

500,000 kilogram grape vinification vats available, all made of steel

and with a cold fermentation system regulated by a centralcomputer. Apart from this the winery also counts with two French

oak vats, with 10,000-liter capacity each and a barrel cellar

where 150 French and American cooperage units also rest.

The winery, in which the Tower stands out, the same

accessed from the main entrance, is integrated in a typical

Manchego-style house with whitewashed patios and indigo-colored

wall protectors. Apart from the production of their own wines, the

proprietors have extended their range of services with wine

tourism and guided visits of the cellar and vineyards, where thevinification and ageing systems can be observed, apart from a

complete tour of the viticulture process. Commented tasting

sessions, which take place in the upper hall of the Tower in a

welcoming ambience, are directed by experts, thus allowing us to

enjoy the evolution of diverse wines at each given moment of their

maturing and ageing process. Visitors can also enjoy lunch in the

restaurant, which has capacity for 50 diners and also holds

outdoor activities in the garden. And for lovers of horses, the

winery counts with an excellent stable of purebred Spanish

horses. Two circuits have also been built in which activities such as

paintball, team-building, archery... take place, the same catering

to company groups.

Arcicllar, en Toledo, es la localidad en la que la familia Gon-

zlez Lpez decidi abrir Bodegas y Viedos Tavera en el ao 2005.

Una localidad con una ubicacin privilegiada, a escasos 20 minutos

de Toledo y a 40 minutos de Madrid. Estas instalaciones son la cul-

minacin de una historia ligada a la viticultura durante cuatro ge-neraciones por parte de la familia propietaria, que se ha dedicado

durante todo el siglo XX a la elaboracin de vino en bodegas tradi-

cionales con uvas procedentes de sus propios viedos.

Su idea, al fundar esta bodega, es la de elaborar, embote-

llar y comercializar vino de la mxima calidad a partir de las 40 hec-

treas de viedo propio con las que cuenta la familia en los trmi-

nos municipales de Camarena y Arcicllar, donde las vides ms

antiguas datan del ao 1921. Aqu cultivan las variedades detempranillo, syrah y la preciada garnacha de la zona, plantada en

vaso y a marco real. En los distintos pagos tambin se cultivan ce-

reales y olivares centenarios de la variedad cornicabra, con cuyo

fruto producen aceite de oliva virgen extra.

La bodega cuenta con unas instalaciones pensadas para

disfrutar y acercar la cultura del vino a todos los visitantes. Es un

edificio de corte moderno que no pasa desapercibido; se divisa des-

de la propia carretera y llama la atencin por el contraste que ofre-

ce con su entorno. En su interior, tambin destaca la cuidada de-

coracin que cuenta con detalles que recuerdan el sabor tradicio-

nal de la zona en la que se ubica. Dispone de sala de exposiciones,

sala de catas y reuniones, desde donde se pueden apreciar unas

magnificas vistas de los campos castellanos que la rodean. En 2008

se abri al pblico una tienda, que hace las delicias de todos los vi-

sitantes, y en la que se pueden adquirir los productos elaborados

por la bodega.

La amabilidad y cualificacin del personal de la bodega es un

lujo para quienes visitan sus instalaciones. Podrn realizar visitas

guiadas a la zona de recepcin de la uva, la sala de fermentacin

y sala de crianza, as como catar tres vinos acompaados de ape-

ritivo y del comentario de los expertos de la bodega. Cursos de ca-

ta, comidas, actividades al aire libre, como gymkanas enolgicas,

paseos por el viedo, son otras de las actividades que ofrecen.

Y para quienes lo deseen, organizan escapadas desde Madrid con

visita a las instalaciones y alojamiento en una casa rural de la zo-

na, que cuenta con piscina, barbacoa y aire acondicionado.

Arcicllar, in Toledo, is the municipality in which the

Gonzlez Lpez family decided to open Bodegas y Viedos Tavera

in the year 2005. A municipality with a privileged location, 20

minutes from Toledo and 40 minutes from Madrid. These facilities

are the culmination of a story linked to viticulture for four

generations of the owner family, which during all the twentieth

century has elaborated wine in traditional wineries with grapes

from their own vineyards. Their idea, when founding this winery, is

to elaborate, bottle and commercialise wine of the maximum

quality from the 40 hectares of vineyard which the family has in the

municipalities of Camarena and Arcicllar, where the oldest vines

are from the year 1921. They cultivate the varieties of tempranillo,

syrah and the precious garnacha of the area, planted in glass and

at a real setting. Cereals and hundred-year-old olive trees of the

cornicabra variety are also cultivated. With the fruit of these

olive trees, extra virgin olive oil is produced.

The winery has facilities which are thought for making allvisitors enjoy and be closer to the culture of wine. It is a modern

building which is by no means unnoticed; it can be seen from the

road and calls our attention because of the contrast with its

surroundings. Inside, the careful decoration is also remarkable,

with details which remind us of the traditional taste of the area in

which the building is located. It has an exhibition room, a wine

tasting and meeting room, from which we can enjoy magnificent

views of the Castillian fields surrounding them. In 2008 a shop was

opened to the public, which delights all the visitors, and where we

can buy the products elaborated by the winery.

The friendliness and qualification of the winery staff is a

luxury for those visiting its facilities. They will be able to make

guided tours to the area where the grapes are received, to the

fermentation room and the aging room, and to taste three wines

with the corresponding snack and the comment from the experts

of the winery. Wine tasting courses, lunches, open air activities,

such as enological gymkhanas, walks on the vineyards, are

other activities offered. And for those who are interested, they

organise excursions from Madrid with visit to the facilities andaccommodation in a rural house of the area, with swimming pool,

barbecue and air conditioning.

24El concepto francs de la viticultura supura por todos los si-

tios cuando te adentras en Finca Loranque, un autntico chteau

a 10 kilmetros de Toledo. Un viedo cuidadsimo a cada lado del

camino conduce hasta una casa de labor del siglo XVIII, recupera-

da con tal respeto que ha sido declarada Bien de Inters Cultural.

El imponente edificio, construido en ladrillo mudjar y tapial tpica-

mente toledano, se integra a la perfeccin en el terreno que la cir-cunda, que combina campos frtiles para la agricultura con terru-

os arenosos ptimos para la via.

Pero es en la bodega donde el visitante experimenta un en-

cuentro con la moderna tecnologa de elaboracin y el clasicismo

de la crianza en madera, en un edificio donde se dan la mano el

acero inoxidable y el mejor roble, la teja y el ladrillo. La apuesta por

el detalle y la calidad se percibe en cada rincn. As, en su interior

destaca el artesonado original que recorre la nave de elaboracin

y de crianza, que dota a la instalacin de un aire seorial.

The French viticulture concept oozes out of every inch

when exploring Finca Loranque, a real chteau 10 kilometers

from Toledo. An extremely well looked after vineyard on each side

of the road that leads to a farmhouse of the 18th century,

recovered in such a respectful manner that it has been declared

La finca posee 42 hectreas de viedo propio de las varie-

dades tempranillo, cabernet sauvignon, syrah y merlot. La familia

Daz Bermejo lo tena claro desde el inicio del proyecto: crear un vi-

no distinto, alejado de modas coyunturales y donde la calidad de la

materia prima marcara todo el proceso. Y es aqu donde aparece

el equipo Telmo Rodrguez-Pablo Eguzkiza, autnticos dinamizado-

res de los nuevos vinos espaoles y una de las voces ms refren-

dadas en los mercados internacionales. Su obsesin por la mxi-

ma calidad en la viticultura y vinificacin encontraron en Finca

Loranque el lugar perfecto para poner en prctica todo su baga-

je profesional. Su mejor referente es el Finca Loranque Syrah-Tem-

pranillo, elogiado por la crtica especializada y con calificaciones por

encima de 90 puntos en la guas de mayor prestigio.

a Site of Cultural Interest. The remarkable building, built with

Mudejar bricks and a typically Toledan garden wall, is perfectly

integrated in the surrounding terrain, one that combines fertile

land for agriculture with sandy earth that is ideal for vines.

But it will be in the wine cellar where the visitor meets the

modern technology for elaboration and classification of aging in

wooden casks, in a building where stainless steel and the bestoak wood, tiles and brickwork team up. The bet placed on

details and quality can be perceived from every corner. In this

way, the original internal coffered ceiling running along the

elaboration and ageing bay and giving the installation a stately

feeling should be highlighted.

The estate has its own vineyards covering 42 hectares

with the Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot

varieties. The Daz Bermejo family knew from the beginning of the

project it had to create a wine that was different, far fromfashions that come and go, in which the quality of the raw

materials marked the whole quality process. It was at this

point that the Telmo Rodrguez-Pablo Eguzkiza team appeared,

the real dynamizing agents behind new Spanish wines and one of

the most ratified voices in international markets. Their obsession

in achieving maximum quality in viticulture and vinification found

the perfect place to put all their professional experience into

practice in Finca Loranque. Their best reference is the Syrah-

Tempranillo from Finca Loranque, praised by the specialized

critics and with qualifications over 90 points in the most

prestigious guides.

El prestigioso restaurador Adolfo Muoz, presidente del gru-

po de restauracin Adolfo-Toledo, fund en 1997 esta bodega. Es-

t localizada en un cigarral, con una extensin de siete hectreas,de las que tan slo cuatro estn destinadas al viedo, que envuel-

ven el edificio principal, donde se encuentra la pequea bodega y la

vivienda familiar. Es el nico viedo urbano en Espaa y uno de los

cuatro que existen en todo el mundo, ubicados en lugares tan m-

gicos como el mismo Toledo: Malib, Viena y Paris. Dentro de la fin-

ca hay tres parcelas separadas. En la primera predomina la varie-

dad syrah arropada a ambos lados por la merlot; y en la segunda y

tercera, se cultivan las variedades cencibel y cabernet sauvignon.La familia ha apostado desde el principio por conseguir un

vino especial y, sobre todo, marcado por la gran personalidad del

terruo, con una vinificacin meticulosa. Si las cepas son objeto del

mayor mimo, no lo es menos la recoleccin de las uvas, que se re-

aliza a mano. Durante la fermentacin tambin se realizan conti-

nuos bazuqueos manuales y doble remontado diario. Cada variedad

se fermenta, se macera y permanece en barrica por separado.

Posteriormente, el vino realiza la fermentacin malolctica en la ba-

rrica donde permanecer alrededor de un ao en tonelera fran-

cesa. Un trabajo con resultados formidables que se comercializa

bajo la marca Pago del Ama y da como resultado vinos con mucha

estructura y complejidad, que han conseguido, entre otras, valo-

raciones altas en la Wine Advocate dirigida por Robert Parker Jr.La bodega y el viedo, plantado en un olivar milenario

desde donde se cuenta que Carlos V observaba todo su imperio,

pueden visitarse todos los das de la semana previa reserva. Un re-

corrido que no decepcionar y en el que se pueden observar ca-

llejones de piedra por donde antiguamente se trasladaban los to-

ros o el ganado vacuno de una finca a otra. Adems, las

instalaciones de la bodega son un excelente espacio para la cele-

bracin de eventos particulares y empresariales.

The prestigious caterer Adolfo Muoz, president of the

Adolfo-Toledo catering group, founded this winery in 1997. It is

located in a cigarral (a country house surrounded with a fruit and

vegetable garden located in Toledo), on a plot of seven hectares,

of which only four are used for the vineyard, surrounding the

main building where the small winery and the private dwelling canbe found. It is the only urban vineyard in Spain and one of four

worldwide, located in places that are as magical as Toledo

itself: Malibu, Vienna and Paris. There are three separate plots

inside the estate. The first has a predominance of the Syrah

variety sheltered on both sides by Merlot; with Cencibel and

Cabernet Sauvignon varieties cultivated in the second and third

plots of land.

From the beginning, the family has always placed its bets

on achieving a wine that is special and, most of all, one markedby the great personality of the land where the grapes were

grown, through meticulous winemaking. While the vines are

chosen carefully, so is the harvesting of grapes that are

handpicked. Continuous manual plunging and pumpovers two

times daily are also performed during fermentation.

Each variety is fermented and macerated and remains in

separate casks. Subsequently, the wine undergoes the malolactic

fermentation in the cask, where it will remain for around a year

in French barrels. A work with extraordinary results,commercialised under the brand Pago del Ama, and providing

wines with a lot of structure and complexity, which have

achieved, among others, high marks in the Wine Advocate

directed by Robert Parker Jr.

The wine cellar and the vineyard, planted in a thousand-

year-old olive grove from where it is said Carlos V observed his

entire empire, can be visited every day of the week after booking

in advance. This visit will disappoint no one, making it possible to

see stone alleys used years ago to move bulls or cattle from one

estate to another. Also, the installations of the wine cellar are an

excellent area for holding private and company events.

or montes de poca altura y anchos valles, entre robles y ma-

torrales, se vislumbra la figura esbelta del ciervo, seor absoluto

de los Montes de Toledo, tierras que se levantan abruptamente dela llanura manchega. Comarca forjada por pastores, colmeneros

y cazadores, sus pueblos se alzan entre los valles, laderas y raas

propias del bosque mediterrneo, baado por el Tajo y sus afluen-

tes. La naturaleza envuelve por completo al caminante que ve apa-

recer entre castaos, encinas y alcornoques, ruinas de castillos

visigodos, monasterios y pueblecitos monteos.

Y si esta comarca abre grandes posibilidades para los

amantes del senderismo, para los cazadores es el autntico para-

so, donde la riqueza cinegtica ha hecho famoso este paraje. La

caza del venado, del jabal, del conejo, la liebre o de la perdiz roja

se pone en prctica en su mxima expresin. Ajenas a esta lucha,

otras especies conviven en este hbitat: linces, zorros, comadre-

jas y hasta guilas quebrantahuesos.

La herencia visigoda queda plasmada en la ermita de San-

ta Mara de Melque, en San Martn de Montalbn, y la poca medie-

hrough the low-lying hills and narrow valleys, surrounded

by Oak Groves and thickets the graceful figure of the deer can

be seen, absolute master of the Montes de Toledo, lands thatabruptly rise from the Manchego plateau. Region forged by

shepherds, beekeepers and hunters alike, its villages dot the

valleys, hillsides and thickets of the Mediterranean forests,

bathed by the waters of the Tajo River and its tributaries.

Nature completely surrounds the traveler, who sees how the

ruins of ancient Visigoth Castles, Monasteries and mountain

villages arise from amongst the Chestnut Groves, Holm Oak

Groves and Cork Oak Groves.

And if this region opens up a myriad of possibilities for

lovers of hiking, the region represents a true paradise for

hunters, making this land famous with the hunting treasures it

val, en el esplndido castillo de Malpica de Tajo, situado al borde delro, que le sirve de foso natural.

Avanzando al sur, entre las provincias de Toledo y Ciudad

Real, se encuentra el Parque Nacional de Cabaeros, uno de lostrece que existen en Espaa. Cabaeros es hoy uno de los rinco-

nes protegidos ms valiosos de los Montes de Toledo, refugio de

muchas especies en peligro de extincin. Destacan las grandes ra-

paces, como el guila y el buitre; las cigeas negras; mamferos

como el ciervo, corzo o jabal y, en general, una rica flora con unagran variedad de rboles y arbustos.

Conscientes de la importancia de pertenecer a un entorno

tan privilegiado, las localidades colindantes a Cabaeros, como Re-tuerta del Bullaquey Horcajo de los Montes, ofrecen todo lo que elamante de la naturaleza pueda imaginar: rutas a caballo o en bu-

rro a travs de valles y arroyos; practicar el tiro con arco entre es-

pectaculares vistas; pescar en embalses de aguas claras y limpias,

y alojarse en las muchas casas rurales donde conseguir la ansia-

da paz y tranquilidad interior.

conceals. This is the land where hunting of deer, boar, rabbit,

hare or the red partridge acquires its maximum expression. Far

removed from this battle, many other species also cohabit in the

area: lynx, fox, weasel and even bearded vultures are all to be

found.

The Visigoth heritage is captured in the Santa Mara de

Melque Chapel, found in San Martn de Montalbn, and Medievaltimes in the splendid Castle located in Malpica de Tajo, right onthe banks of the river, which serves it as a natural moat.

If we advance somewhat further south, between the

provinces of Toledo and Ciudad Real, we encounter the NationalPark of Cabaeros, one of the thirteen natural parks to be foundin Spain. Cabaeros is currently one of the most valuable

protected corners of the Montes de Toledo, refuge to numerous

species in danger of extinction. The great birds of prey such as

the eagle and vulture are to be highlighted; apart from black

storks, mammals such as deer, roe deer or boar and in general,

a rich flora with a tremendous variety of trees and shrubs.

Quite aware of the importance of belonging to such a

privileged place, the locations bordering on Cabaeros, such as

Retuerta del Bullaque and Horcajo de los Montes offer lovers ofnature absolutely anything they can image: routes on horseback

or donkey crossing through valleys and across streams; archery

immersed in spectacular panoramic views; fishing in the crystal

clear waters of the reservoirs; and stays in many of the rural

houses along the way, in which peace and well-being soon

become second nature to us.

Hace ya 23 aos que el mdico y empresario Marcial Gmez

Sequeira adquiri, en plenos Montes de Toledo, la finca Dehesa del

Carrizal. En 1987 plant su primer viedo, escribiendo as la prime-

ra pgina de un gran proyecto bodeguero. Gran aficionado a la ca-

za, en sus viajes por el mundo en busca de los mejores trofeos, tu-

vo la oportunidad de conocer los vinos de prcticamente todas las

zonas productoras del planeta y pudo comprobar que, muchos de

estos caldos, tenan un factor comn: la uva cabernet sauvignon.

Convirti un jaral de uso exclusivo para jabales y ciervos, en un es-

pectacular viedo de 8 hectreas. Las primeras botellas en el mer-

cado, confirmaron la calidad esperada, por lo que en distintas fa-

ses se amplia el viedo con las variedades syrah, merlot, tempranillo,

petit verdot y chardonnay, resultando en total 29 hectreas de vi-

23 years ago, the doctor and businessman Marcial Gmez

Sequeiro acquired the Dehesa del Carrizal estate, right in the

mountains of Toledo. He planted his first vineyard in 1987, in this

way writing the first page of a great wine cellar project. Being very

interested in hunting and by means of traveling around the world

in search of the best trophies, he had the chance to get to knowwines from all producing areas of the planet, allowing him to see

that many of these wines shared a common factor: Cabernet

Sauvignon grapes.

This rockrose grove that used to be home to wild boars and

deer has been turned into a spectacular 8-hectare vineyard. The

first bottles to come out on the market confirmed the expected

quality, thus paving the way for new varieties to be planted in the

vineyard during different phases: Syrah, Merlot, Tempranillo,

Petit Verdot and Chardonnay, resulting in a total of 29-hectares of

vineyard. Formed in trellis-fashion with Cordn Royat and Smart-

dyson vine training techniques it currently counts with a

subterranean drip irrigation system.

Next to the vineyard, on the northern slope, the terrain is

cut to fit-in a functional three-bay building, achieving a well-

ventilated subterranean ageing cellar without ramps or lifts. This

modern wine cellar has a capacity for elaborating 250,000 kilos of

grapes, and an air-conditioned ageing bay for over 1,000 casks. At

the front and closing the production area is a splendid building made

with Toledan bricks that is perfectly integrated in the landscape,

with a dining room, a tasting room, a laboratory and offices. In the

year 2006 the hard work of many years was rewarded with the

Dehesa del Carrizal Denomination of Origin. This grant represents

recognition of the fourth denomination of origin for quality wines

produced in wineries, the same being ratified in 2007 by the

Ministry of Agriculture, this to the effects of its national,

communitarian and international protection.

Its privileged location allows for routes using 4x4 or walks

around the surroundings of Retuerta del Bullaque or visits to the

National Park of Cabaeros.

En un hermoso paraje de la localidad toledana de Otero, la fa-

milia Gonzlez, en su ya quinta generacin, ha levantado una bode-

ga, demostrando que sigue vivo el inters de Gonzlez Byass por en-

contrar tierras en las que desarrollar su saber hacer con los vinos

y por estar presentes en las denominaciones de origen claves en Es-

paa. En Finca Constancia la arquitectura est en perfecta armona

con la naturaleza, obra del prestigioso arquitecto Gonzalo Tello. La

bodega es una obra de arte en medio del viedo que, al norte, linda

con las estribaciones de los Montes de Toledo y, al sur, permite el dis-

frute de las magnficas vistas que ofrece la Sierra de Gredos. Si la

arquitectura se integra y respeta el entorno, las instalaciones

tambin han sido trazadas para minimizar las agresiones externas

a la uva y al vino, incluso, las aguas residuales, una vez tratadas, se

reutilizan para el riego por goteo de las vias. Todo est pensado pa-

ra primar la calidad del vino: cuentan con 100 depsitos con control

automtico de temperatura, ocho depsitos especiales para produ-

cir vinos de alta expresin con llenado por gravedad y maceracin

intracelular y una nave con capacidad para 2.000 barricas.

Unas 200 hectreas de viedo rodean la bodega donde se cul-

tivan variedades espaolas y otras internacionales como temprani-

llo, cabernet sauvignon, syrah, cabernet franc, petit verdot y gracia-

no, en tintas; y verdejo, sauvignon blanc y chardonay, en blancas.

Gonzlez Byass, conocedor de las ricas experiencias queaporta el enoturismo, puesto que con bodegas To Pepe fueron pio-

neros en la apertura a los visitantes de sus instalaciones jerezanas,

soberbias instalaciones. En ellas, destaca la sala de barricas de ma-

dera, la nave de elaboracin en acero inoxidable y la nave de embo-

tellado en cristal.

Nestled in a gorgeous landscape in the Toledo town of

Otero, the Gonzlez Family, already in its fifth generation, has

created a winery to thus prove that Gonzlez Byass continues to

more than interested in finding lands where their excellent

workmanship with wines can be developed and in being present in

key denominations of origin in Spain. In Finca Constancia architecture

is in perfect harmony with nature; it has been built by the prestigious

architect Gonzalo Tello. The winery is a work of art in the middle ofthe vineyard that, to the north, adjoins the foothills of Montes de

Toledo and, to the south, it allows to enjoy the magnificent views

offered by Sierra de Gredos. If the architecture is integrated and

respectful with the environment, the facilities have also been laid-

out to minimize to a maximum any external aggressions to the vines

and wine, to the point of even treating the residual waters for their

reuse in the drip irrigation system for the vines. Everything is aimed

at the quality of the wine being paramount: the winery counts

with 100 vats with automatic temperature control, eight special vats

for production of high-expression wines fitted with gravity-fill

systems and intracellular maceration, along with a bay with capacity

for 2.000 barrels. Almost 200 hectares of vineyard surround

Finca Constancia which cultivates traditional Spanish varieties

with new international ones such as Tempranillo, Cabernet

Sauvignon, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Graciano in red,

and Verdejo, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonay in white.

In the facilities, guided tours can be made during the whole

year and we can discover a Chteau from the XXIst century,

knowing from inside the process of elaboration of the wine, walking

around the vineyards and enjoying the natural environment which

surrounds the estate and the spectacular design of the winery.Finca Constancia has a shop, reception and meeting rooms, and it

is an exclusive destination for the celebration of events, as it has all

the services for presentations and special celebrations surrounded

by vineyards. Besides, specialised wine tastings are made with the

possibility of a catering service specialised in tapas, which delights

visitors, outdoor and teambuilding activities Gonzlez Byass,

knowers of the rich experiences provided by wine tourism, because

with Bodegas To Pepe they were pioneers in the opening to visitors

of their facilities in Jerez, and also in Otero, open their doors to

show the vineyards and the superb facilities. Among them, we can

mention the wooden barrels room, the premises for the elaboration

in stainless steel and the premises for bottling in glass.

Carlos Falc y Fernndez de Crdova, Marqus de Grin, es

uno de los pioneros en la modernizacin de la viticultura y el vino en

Espaa. Ya en 1974 introdujo en nuestro pas las variedades de uva

cabernet sauvignon que, posteriormente, extendi a la chardonnay,

petit verdot y syrah. Su pasin por la enologa le llev a construir en1989 una bodega en Malpica de Tajo, donde la familia es propietaria

de la finca Valdepusa, dentro del Dominio del mismo nombre, para

procesar el fruto de las 50 hectreas de viedo plantadas. Fue el pri-

mer viedo de Espaa en utilizar sistemas de viticultura sostenible

mediante el uso de espalderas en Lira y Smart-Dyson y tambin el

pionero en aplicar el riego por goteo.

La bodega est ubicada en un histrico edificio del siglo XVIII

y posee unas instalaciones muy avanzadas tecnolgicamente.
