About Valencia

Valencia wines connect Mediterranean vineyards with a cooler inland plateau and a wealth of local grapes. Bobal gives Utiel-Requena its distinctive reds and lively rosés, while Alicante offers Monastrell, fragrant Moscatel and the remarkable aged wine Fondillón. Valencia DO itself contains varied subzones, with Merseguera and Verdil adding white-wine discoveries beyond familiar international grapes. The wider Valencian region and Valencia DO are different geographical scopes. Moscatel de Valencia points towards a local aromatic wine tradition within that story, not another independent DO. Explore the full origin, grape and sweetness to discover how much variety lies behind the coastal name.
