Pasion de Bobal 2011

Utiel-Requena, Valencia and Murcia, SpainHave you ever tasted the bobal grape before? Here, 60+ year old bobal from the hot interior of Valencia is freshened with altitude (approx. 1000m) and paid attention to via organic farming. Deep and dense plum, sweet cassis, red and black liquorice aromas carry through to the juicy palate where blue fruit, wood smoke, earth, vanilla, cracked pepper and candied blackberries join in across smoothed, fine tannins. Densely fruited and medium bodied, this juicy and rustic red makes a stellar barbecue red and match to grilled pork chops or plum lamb kabobs.Tasted: 22 May 2015Tasted by: Prices:
