In this edition 2016, as it was expected, we found some of the wines from D.O. La Mancha. A total of 7 medals, one gold and the rest being silver, are the awards for the manchego wines: a white wine and several red wines from different vinages (2015 to 2012). This is a clear indicator of the importance that red wines have within the La Mancha region, where years ago the references were exclusively made to white wines.
