Requena, Wine municipality in La Comarca de Utiel-Requena, Spain

The municipality stretches across 814 square kilometers at 692 meters elevation, with deep gorges carved by the Cabriel River along its western border.

The settlement evolved from a Moorish fortress in the 7th century into a strategic stronghold during conflicts between Moors and Christians in medieval times.

The Gothic churches of El Salvador and Santa Maria, dating from the 14th century, display intricate architectural elements that reflect medieval religious craftsmanship.

The municipality connects to Valencia and Madrid through the A-3 motorway, with additional road networks linking to Almansa-Alicante via N-330 and Albacete via N-322.

The chalky, clay soil plateau combines Mediterranean and continental climates, creating specific conditions for grape cultivation across numerous local vineyards.
