Finca La Estacada, hotel and wine tourism in Cuenca

When I proposed to my friend Paco to accompany me to visit the Estacada Estate, near Madrid, and he told me that "Yes, this way I know their wines better, which I usually buy“I realized that this winery (which I admit I didn't know) must have something special.

Indeed, as he told me Paco, it is relatively new Tarancón winery, riding a Cuenca, has been making some very delicious wines that they sell at really competitive prices. The subsequent tasting of their wines during the stay at the La Estacada wine tourism complex, they have confirmed to me the great potential that a wine-growing area like La Mancha when you decide to make a good wine.

The elaborations of La Estacada Estate They are a good example of this, and also an example that there is no reason to pay an excessive price to enjoy a good wine.

Finca La Estacada Winery

The origins of Finca la Estacada winery They date back to 2001, when the family Cantarero Rodríguez, starting from the vineyards of his property dedicated until then to the production of table wines, decided to take a turn towards the production of quality wines, but for which he would pay a reasonable price.

To do this, next to the estate with vineyards that already had the name The Estacada a was built wine cellar completely new with the most modern equipment and various preparations began to be made from different types of grapes produced on the farm.

Currently in The Estacada you have the opportunity to enjoy the wine tourism just one hour from Madrid, with a complex where you find a hotel with a spa and a restaurant with elaborate dishes.

This complex is the result of the demand of the winery's clients and partners of the wine club that was established in it.

Another highlight is the restaurant, where you can taste dishes with tasty preparations (à la carte, 30-40 euros). Of course, the best way to taste the different wines from the winery is with the tasting menu with wine pairing.

Specifically, I had the opportunity to taste a tasty menu with regional specialties, which included pickled partridge salad, ajoarriero, morteruelo and suckling pig chops with Manchego ratatouille.

An excellent creamy chocolate and a coulant filled with red fruits gave the meal a sweet touch.
