Ribera del Jucar
The Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Ribera del Júcar is a young appellation established in 2003 and located in the Cuenca region of central Spain. The Ribera del Júcar DOP covers more than 9,000 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 Júcar DOP was conceived as a comprehensive project based on the balance of the ecosystem related to viticulture. It prioritizes environmental stewardship, the development of vineyards, and the local economy, particularly through the promotion of ecotourism.
The Ribera del Júcar production area is a vast plain, dotted with a few hills and crisscrossed by the river that gave the appellation its name. This unique setting and the Ribera del Júcar’s temperate Mediterranean microclimate provide excellent conditions for growing grapes. The grape varieties included in the Ribera del Júcar DOP 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, offering a balance between yield and grape quality. This young appellation is perfectly showcased by the wines produced by Bodegas La Magdalena Vega Moragona.
