Yecla DO
[YAY-klah]

A small DO located in the Levante region in eastern Spain, northwest of the city of Alicante. Yecla mainly produces high-ALCOHOL (14 to 16 percent) red wines, primarily from Monastrell (MOURVÈDRE) grapes, along with some Garnacha (GRENACHE). The white varieties grown in this DO are AIRÉN, MACABEO, and Merseguera. Experimental plots of CABERNET SAUVIGNON, MERLOT, and TEMPRANILLO have also been planted. Current efforts suggest that a shift toward lower-alcohol (12 to 13 percent) wines may be underway.
