Manchuela

The Manchuela appellation is located in central Spain, in the Castilla La Mancha region. This region begins at the end of the Valencia DO, and is bordered by La Mancha to the west and Jumilla to the south. La Manchuela was formerly part of the Mancha appellation, but was separated from it in 2004.
