Established in 1897, the winery is located in the Derramador Valley, which serves as the namesake for this specific wine. Torre Oria has a history of international recognition, having been awarded various gold medals for its production. This wine holds the Denominación de Origen Reserva classification and is bottled at 12.5% alcohol by volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1997 Reserva is crafted from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most recognized blue grapes, frequently cultivated in prominent wine regions such as Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Tuscany to create structured red wines. It is complemented by Merlot, another classic blue grape widely planted in Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Northern Italy, which is traditionally utilized to produce softer wine profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are sourced from Utiel-Requena, a Denominación de Origen located in the eastern Spanish province of Valencia. Granted DO status in 1957, the appellation covers approximately 34,000 hectares, making it one of the largest in Spain. The vineyards are situated on a high plateau at an elevation of 600 to 900 meters, about 70 kilometers west of the city of Valencia. The climate here is distinctly continental, characterized by hot, dry summers, cold winters, low rainfall, and significant diurnal temperature shifts. The vines are planted in well-draining limestone and clay soils, often featuring red earth or marl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUtiel-Requena sits within the broader Valencia wine region along the Mediterranean coast, an area with a historical wine culture that traces its roots back to Neolithic times. While the coastal areas experience a Mediterranean climate, the inland zones where Utiel-Requena is located are dominated by continental weather patterns. Today, the Valencia region serves as Spain's most important export port for wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Torre Oria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57417140994374,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1352_58684868-dcae-457f-9dbf-129cfd93e771.jpg?v=1789996900","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.dk\/en\/products\/requena-torre-oria-1997","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
