About 2.5 million hectoliters of wine are produced in La Manchuela per year, which represents almost 5.1% of the total wine production in Spain and 7.6% of the total in Castilla-La Mancha. Of the total cultivated area, 12,478.33 hectares, 19.3% is destined for white varieties, while 80.7% is destined for red varieties.
In white wine the Macabeo variety stands out, with 74% of the total white varieties.
In red wine the Bobal variety prevails, with 41% of the total of red varieties.
Almost 90% of the wine production of the Manchuela Designation of Origin goes to countries such as China, Germany, Japan, the United States or the Netherlands, among other countries in the world.
