It is resistant to mildew and to drought so it is unsurprising that it is Spain’s 3rd most widely grown wine grape. Traditionally Bobal was used in bulk wines or as a blending grape to give structure and colour to wines. But it’s increasingly being used for single varietal wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBobal is most commonly found in the Valencia area – particularly Utiel Requena but also in other regions like Extremadura, in the Denominación de Origen Ribera del Jucar, or DO Manchuela in Castilla La Mancha. It can be found at altitudes of up to 1,000 metres above sea level, where temperature variations between day and night help add structure to the wine. Those temperature variations mean that Bobal can produce lovely medium-bodied wines with fresh acidity, soft tannins, and rich dark colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of flavours, you can expect lots of fruit flavours like raspberry and cherry, but you might also pick up some floral elements like violets, or perhaps sometimes even a touch of chocolate. Bobal grapes produce beautiful, rounded red wines with plenty of flavour, but not too heavy. They tend to go well with lighter meat dishes like game and poultry.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bodega-mustiguillo-finca-terrerazo-vino-de-pago-bobal","title":"Bodega Mustiguillo Finca Terrerazo Vino de Pago Bobal 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bodega Mustiguillo Finca Terrerazo Bobal was the first Vino de Pago of the Comunidad Valenciana, granted to Musiguillo in 2010. This is a part of the Grandes Pagos de España organisation that is dedicated to upholding and promoting very high quality single estate wines. At an altitude of 800-824 meters, the estate is comprised of 89 hectares of contiguous vineyards on primarily limestone soils. The climate is Mediterranean with a strong continental influence with drastic diurnal shifts in temperature and contrasting winds from the sea to the east and hot La Mancha to the west. Made from 100% Bobal, the plots are vinified separately by soil type with indigenous yeasts and undergo malolactic and aging in large, French oak vats. Cherry red in colour, Finca Terrerazo has an intense and expressive nose full of red and black fruits alongside mineral notes. An enveloping palate with juicy, brambly fruits and silky smooth tannins. The finish is long and fresh.
