Wine
Castilla la Mancha produces white, red, rosé and sparkling wines.
White wine is made with grapes of the varieties Airén, Padilla, Viura, Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanca, whilst the varieties Cencibel or Tempranillo, Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, Moravia and Merlot are used for red wine.
The name depends on the ageing. Thus, a Nuevo wine is a wine that has been bottled nine months after its production. The name Cosecha is applied to the wine produced during the year indicated on the label. Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva, distinguish those wines submitted to a certain ageing process.
We call pairing to the process of matching food with the appropriate wine to enhance the pleasure of eating. This concept lies in the fact that certain elements, such as the texture and flavour of food and wine react when they are mixed together. Finding the appropriate combination of the latter makes eating an extremely pleasant experience for our palate.
Our wines:
*Crianza Selección Wine, after 18 months in barrel and 24 months in bottle rack, we can present an elegant wine, appropriate for the most demanding palates. With great intensity, with a large potential of careful ageing. Alcohol percentage: 14% vol.
*Joven Wine, made with grapes of Tempranillo variety. Despite its young age, it has its own personality due to the grape selection process and its subsequent fermentation. Cherry coloured with purple tones, red fruit aroma. It is powerful and fleshy. Alcohol percentage: 13.5% vol.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
We can see it is an authentic Olive Juice, with extraordinary properties. It is characterised by an acidity equal to or below 0.8º and its superior quality, without flaws.
It is a food product recommended and classified as healthy for the heart by the World Health Organisation. Therefore, it is ideal for dressing, as well as for cooking or frying.
It has a fine, mild taste, and depending on the variety, it is more or less fruity. This variety depends on the type of olives used in the production: arbequina, picual, hojiblanca, cornicabra…
It is delicious raw, used as a dressing for salads, to make sauces or just spread on a slice of good bread…
At ANCHA Castilla, we offer two varieties:
*Cornicabra. Extra Virgin Oil with Denomination of Origin Montes de Toledo.

Selected Honey
Honey is a sweet food product, produced by bees from the nectar of flowers. It has recognised therapeutic qualities, including the fact that it helps to heal and it prevents infections.
Important source of energy, honey does not expire, because due to its high concentration of sugars it kills the bacteria by means of osmotic lysis. It is highly appreciated in cooking, especially in baking, and even in patent beauty recipes.
Its texture is dense, mild, aromatic and surrounding. It is usually tasted spread on bread, as a sweetener for infusions, milk, juices, yoghurts, milk curd, as a special ingredient in different baker recipes…

*Orange Blossom Variety, made with orange blossoms. With a mild scent and flavour, it has slight relaxing effects.

Saffron
Spice original from Arabia, it comes from a plant called Crocus Sativus, belonging to the Liliaceae order, of the Iridaceae family. Its purple colour flower produces three reddish orange stigmas. This stigma, which once dried and toasted exudes an intense fragrance and great colouring power, is what we really know as saffron.
In cooking it is highly appreciated when used for colouring, aromatising and flavouring many dishes. It reaches its greatest exponent when used in the elaboration of rice, roasted meats, fish, soups, sea food...
