Type of Denomination of Origin

Uclés.

The area has a range of heights from between 500 and 800 m. in the mid-west to between 600 and 1200m. in the mid-east, both parts separated by the Altomira mountain range.

It occupies an area of 175,000 hectares, although only 1,500 have vines suitable to yield Ucles wines.

It becomes obvious, just by passing through the region, that the production area mainly has connotations of an environment, of a different relief, climate, and soil than of the typical producing regions of La Mancha. Mainly based on the uniformity of the relief, the variability and depth of the soil and some climatic conditions that do not match the area south of the plateau.
