Ribera del Jucar
The Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Júcar Riverbank is a young appellation created in 2003 located in the Cuenca region in central Spain. The Ribera del Jucar PDO covers more than nine thousand hectares of vineyards located in the municipalities of Casas de Benítez, Casas de Fernando Alonso, Casas de Guijarro, Casas de Haro, El Picazo, Pozoamargo, and Sisante. The Ribera del Jucar DOP was conceived as a comprehensive project based on the balance of the ecosystem linked to viticulture. It takes into account respect for the environment, the development of vineyards and the local economy, particularly through the development of ecotourism.
The Ribera del Jucar production area is a vast plain, dotted with a few hills and broken up by the river that gave the appellation its name. This unique location and the temperate Mediterranean microclimate of the Ribera del Jucar provide excellent conditions for growing grapes. The grape varieties included in the Ribera del Jucar PDO are Cencibel or Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Bobal, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The varieties used for white wines are Moscatel de Grano Menudo and Sauvignon Blanc. Fifty percent of the vines are between 35 and 40 years old, which provides a balance between yield and grape quality. This young appellation is perfectly showcased by the wines offered by Bodegas La Magdalena Vega Moragona.
