Llevant, the east coast of Spain, is an important wine-growing region that includes the autonomies of Valencia and Murcia and, next to Denominations of Origin (appellations) like Alicante, Jumilla or Yecla, includes others not as well-known as Bullas or Utiel-Requena, our today's protagonist.

An inner area of continental climate with heights of up to 900 meters, dominated by the Bobal grape, native of this DO, specially suitable for rosé wines and good complement to the Monastrell, of majority crop in the region. Indeed, although to a lesser extent, we can enjoy widespread Tempranillo, exemplified here in this "Hoya de Cadenas.
