History of winegrowing in Spain
The type of vines that are used to make wine today are a direct descendent of the VITIS VINIFERA, from the Vitaceae family. They have been grown throughout the centuries, since the times when history blurs into myth. These vines are known to have existed in Babylonia and were grown by the first Pharaohs of Egypt. However, it was the Greeks and the Phoenicians who developed viticulture in a more systematic manner and introduced it across their colonies. These two cultures are the main primary sources of knowledge and the subsequent evolution of winegrowing in the West. This development was especially significant in Mediterranean countries such as Spain, France and Italy.

The Denominación de Origen Valdepeñas production area lies along the southern edge of the Meseta Sur, bordered by the La Mancha plains to the north, the fields of Montiel to the east, Calatrava to the west and the Sierra Morena mountain range to the south, with the River Jabalón running through the area from east to west.
At an average altitude of 700 metres, the chalky, sandy and clayey soil in the region is perfect for growing the best-quality vines.
Since its foundation, the Denominación de Origen Valdepeñas has won a range of other awards.
“Las palabras que nos permiten conocer la esencia de los hombres y las cosas. Cada vez que un autor abre una página de su alma, un mensaje es lanzado. Traza así su rumbo a los sentidos del lector. Aquí está la aventura humana; las ideas que nos sobrevuelan y se convierten en un testamento de la Historia.
Os traemos una buena selección de palabras con alma, en las que sus autores han tratado -y lo han conseguido- hacer grande, muy grande el pulso de nuestra ciudad. Y lo han conseguido porque exaltar el Vino y la Poesía es cantar la épica de sus hijos, habitantes que no han detenido su historia; ésta sigue adelante…”
