Dehesa del Carrizal is one of only ten ''Vino de Pago'' existing in Spain as of 2010. This is the highest category on the quality scale of Spanish wines and means that in addition to having a proven track record of consistent quality, the wines have to be both produced from estate-grown grapes and also have to be processed and aged in a winery (''bodega'') located on the estate. This Vino de Pago is located in Retuerta del Bullaque in the region of the Montes de Toledo, Ciudad Real Province, Spain, The first vineyard was planted back in 1987. Today the vineyard surface is about 28 hectares. Grape varieties planted are Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Tempranillo and Chardonnay. Its Cabernet Sauvignon is well known as one of the finest Cabernets ever made in Spain. As well as its Chardonnay. Dehesa del Carrizal belongs to "Grandes Pagos de España" association. ==Montes de Toledo== It is the mountain range running east to west within the provinces of Toledo and Ciudad Real, between the topographical depressions of Tajo and Guadiana. Many years went before these lands’ great ecological and landscape wealth was recognized, with two key dates in its history: 1885 marks the beginning of Madoz disentailment (where Dehesa del Carrizal is first named), and 1995 sees the declaration of Cabañeros National Park. Bioclimatically and biogeographically the area is defined as siliceous Mediterranean mountains of the Southern Plateau, making it a rare mountainous configuration, very different from the neighbouring regions of Toledan Plateau (North), La Mancha (East), and Campo de Calatrava (South). Acidic soils, a more humid climate and its altitude (between 600 mts in the hillsides to 1,400 mts in the mountain tops) distinguish the region and the wines it produces. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dehesa del Carrizal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
