The winery has enormous references in this region and throughout Spain, partly due to their rich and great experience in the wine world and their worldwide fame of now as 5 regions. Bodegas ChrIsto de la Vega today has \u003cstrong\u003e60 years of experience\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003econtinuity in quality\u003c\/strong\u003e . The winery was founded in 1955 by a group of 25 grape growers, led by \u003cstrong\u003eJuan Manuel Orriach Moreno\u003c\/strong\u003e . Every day they work hard to produce the most authentic wines; wines that reflect the \u003cstrong\u003eterroir and the character\u003c\/strong\u003e of the landscape. The quality of the wines is guaranteed by DOC La Mancha, the largest Denominacion in the world.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"float: left;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #7f6000;\"\u003eHOT \u0026amp; DRY, YET IDEAL\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"float: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vineyards of Christo de la Vega are situated at an altitude of \u003cstrong\u003e700 metres above sea level\u003c\/strong\u003e . The climate is continental with warm summers and long cold winters with rainfall of 300 to 400 mm. These extreme conditions are \u003cstrong\u003eideal for the ripening process\u003c\/strong\u003e of the grape varieties grown, some of which are almost 100 years old.\u003c\/span\u003e La Mancha is a large wine region located south and east of the Spanish capital Madrid. The conditions for wine growing in this region are harsh. The \u003cstrong\u003ehot and dry Castilla La Mancha\u003c\/strong\u003e has traditionally been known as a source of low quality bulk wine. More than half of Spain's grapes are grown here. However, in recent decades (and especially since 1986, when Spain joined the European Union) viticulture has undergone \u003cstrong\u003ea\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003erevolution\u003c\/strong\u003e that has changed the face of wines from Castilla-La Mancha. Both large producers and smaller companies such as \u003cstrong\u003eChristo de la Vega\u003c\/strong\u003e now use modern wine growing technologies, combined with a judicious selection of grape varieties and ripening techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch4 style=\"float: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #7f6000;\"\u003eTHE PASSION OF WINE MAKING\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"float: left;\"\u003eThe cooperative's collective 'know-how' brings together the \u003cstrong\u003ebest effort\u003c\/strong\u003e , the best affection, the cooperative's \u003cstrong\u003eaffection\u003c\/strong\u003e and the greatest passion (winemaking). The consistent quality of the wines also comes from this passion to always produce well-drinkable and elegant wines. Today it is a 'state of the art' bodega, \u003cstrong\u003eequipped with the most modern technical gadgets\u003c\/strong\u003e for producing top wines for a very good price. In collaboration with Christo de la Vega we have an exclusive line of mono-cépages (made from 100% one grape variety), starting with the freshest white style made from 100% Verdejo: \u003cstrong\u003eVerdejo 'Despierta'\u003c\/strong\u003e ('despierta means 'cheerful'). In addition, we have the 100% Chardonnay, \u003cstrong\u003eDominio de Vegasan\u003c\/strong\u003e (Vegasan's domain \u0026gt; name of the winery), which is a bit fuller but still fresh. We also have the \u003cstrong\u003eDespierta\u003c\/strong\u003e in red, made from 100% Tempranillo. A fresh, sultry red.
