  History   Valdepeñas Wines  
  Varieties of Grapes   Winemaking  
   Spain currently has more than fifty Registered Trade Names for another fifty wine producing regions with their own characteristics. And due to the quality of its wines Valdepeñas is one of the most important regions of our country.

Within living memory wine and Valdepeñas are connected to each other. Although the first traces demonstrate the existence of wine-growing activities for more than 3,000 years on the Iberian Peninsula, the vestiges of the district

  of Valdepeñas – grape seed rests – have been found on the archaeological site Cerro de las Cabezas, which has been occupied between the 7th and 4th century B.C.

Later and to date have been found references of the Roman, Visigothic, Muslim and subsequent periods.



    The Valdepeñas Registered Trade Name was acknowledged on 8 September 1932 and its subsequent Regulations date from the years 1968, 1976 and 1994. We are talking thus about a well-experienced Registered Trade Name and the second most well-known one to Spaniards.


 

    Valdepeñas was the headquarters of the first Enological and Experimental Field Station in Spain and also housed the Regional Federation of Viticulturists, presided over by the Marqués of Casa Treviño. The Viticulture Mercantile Circle was founded in 1928, and the Regional Viticulture Board established its headquarters in Valdepeñas in 1930.
