**Manchuela** is a wine region in central-eastern Spain, in the Castilla-La Mancha area between the Júcar and Cabriel rivers. It has earned a reputation for characterful reds from a local grape. **Wines & grapes** — Bobal is the signature variety, giving deeply colored, fresh reds, often alongside Tempranillo, Garnacha and international grapes; some crisp whites and rosés are made too. **Character** — A high plateau setting with hot days, cool nights and limestone-rich soils helps the wines keep acidity and balance despite the warm climate. Modern producers have shown that old Bobal vines can yield lively, food-friendly reds rather than just bulk wine. **Good to know** — The region's elevation sets it apart from the flatter, hotter plains nearby.
