Wine from La Mancha
Filter
La Mancha is located in Spain, and is the largest continuous vine-growing region on the planet. Located in Central Spain, it includes 182 municipalities, 300 wineries, and 22,000 grape-growers. The region was registered as a Denominación de Origen, DO, in 1976.
The viticulture dates back to the 12 century when the ancient Romans introduced grape vines to the region. The production of wine become commercially viable in the 1940’s when multiple cooperatives were set up in La Mancha.
The climate in the region is continental with extremely cold winters and long hot summers. These extremes make grape growing challenging as the region only has an average of 12 to 16” of rainfall every year. The grapes that are planted in the region need to be tolerant as the winters are often accompanied by frost. During the summer, the temperatures can reach 104°.
The soil is homogenous and flat forming brownish red sandy clay that is rich in lime and chalk. The land rises from north to south and is 40 meters above sea level.
The Airen grape is the most popular producing rose wines, with Cencibel, Tempranillo, leading the red grape variety in the region. La Mancha is known for full-bodied Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The Nuits-Saint-Georges A.C. wines are produced on land delimited by the parishes of Nuits-Saint-Georges and Premeaux-Prissey.
The grapes bear small little dark red berries. The bunches are destemmed; they macerate in open vats during 4 weeks helping this subtle terroir to reveal itself. After devatting, the wines are aged in oak barrels during 18 months.
Review:
Bright cherry, currant and strawberry fruit flavors are backed by a dense matrix of dusty tannins in this compact red. Balanced, lingering with a hint of cumin on the finish. The saturated flavors are intense. Best from 2023 through 2038. 660 cases made, 200 cases imported. — Wine Spectator 93 Points
Long Shadows Chester Kidder is made from 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Syrah and 15% Petit Verdot
Allen Shoup named this wine in honor of his mother, Elizabeth Chester, and his grandmother, Maggie Kidder. He selected Long Shadows' director of winemaking and viticulture, Gilles Nicault, to craft this New World blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and other classic Bordeaux varieties.
Select Cabernet Sauvignon lots underwent an extended maceration of 40 days to produce supple yet firm tannins that stand up to 30 months of barrel aging in tight-grained French oak barrels (85% new). The extra time in barrel helped to integrate the fruit, enhance the mid-palate with an extra layer of complexity, and provide an appealing earthiness to the finish.
