Manuel Manzaneque Suárez

Castilian Bobal and Cava from Spain's continental heartland.

Manuel Manzaneque Suárez operates in Castilla, Spain's expansive central plateau, where continental climate and varied terroirs shape distinctive wines. The winery works with indigenous Spanish varieties: Xarel-lo, Macabeo, and Parellada for sparkling production, and Bobal for still wines. The Paloma Minguez Manero Cava Brut Ecológico, a blend of the three traditional Cava grapes, demonstrates the precision possible in the region's sparkling category. Bobal, a dark-skinned variety native to eastern Spain, anchors the portfolio: the Paloma Minguez Bobal and Mil Cepas Bobal each showcase the grape's structure and depth. Wine Enthusiast has rated wines from the winery. The house balances Castilla's mineral, high-altitude character with the textural complexity these grapes can achieve.
