The "Almansa DO" stands for "Denominación de Origen Almansa" and is a Spanish designation of origin for wine that regulates and protects the quality and origin of wines from the Almansa region in the province of Albacete in the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha. This D.O. was officially recognised in 1966 and has since developed into an important wine region.
The Almansa DO region extends over a large number of vineyards and covers a total area of about 7,000 hectares. The climate in this region is continental, with hot, dry summers and cold winters. The soils in Almansa are mainly calcareous, which has a positive effect on viticulture and gives the wines a certain minerality and complexity.
The dominant grape variety in Almansa DO is the Monastrell grape (also known as Mourvèdre), which thrives particularly well in this region. Monastrell wines from Almansa are known for their dark colour, their powerful structure and their aromas of dark berries, spices and often a hint of Mediterranean herbs.
In addition to Monastrell, other grape varieties such as Garnacha Tintorera, Syrah, Merlot and Tempranillo are also grown, resulting in a variety of wine styles in the Almansa DO. Wines from this region are often well balanced, with appropriate acidity and tannin structure.
The Almansa DO has invested more in the quality of its wines in recent years and has become more internationally recognised. The wines from this region are often attractively priced and offer excellent value for money, making them particularly interesting for wine lovers looking for Spanish wines with character and authenticity.
