Méntrida
Méntrida is a designation of origin in the north of the province of Toledo, known for its reds and rosés made from Garnacha, its most emblematic variety.
Méntrida extends across the north of the province of Toledo, in Castilla-La Mancha, along the border with the Community of Madrid. It has a continental climate, with hot summers and cold winters, and sandy soils are common. Garnacha is its emblematic variety, including old vines, and Cencibel (the local name for Tempranillo) is the other main grape. It mainly produces reds, from young wines to barrel-aged ones, as well as rosés.
