Bobal Sericis (Old Vine Bobal), Utiel Requena

A complex old vine, low yielding, Bobal from eastern Spain

Made exclusively from low-yielding, old vine Bobal fruit grown in the area known as ‘Medio Dia’ – where the soil is chalk/clay with little organic content. This, together with long hours of sunshine, and large variations between day and night temperatures, result in very low, yet high quality, yields. The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed followed by a long maceration at controlled temperature. Malolactic fermentation takes place, and then the wine is aged in new French ‘Allier’ barrels for eight months.

Aromas of dark fruits and light spice. Plum and bramble fruit balanced by toasty characters on the structured palate
