Pasion de Bobal 2010

Utiel-Requena, Valencia and Murcia, SpainBobal is the third most-planted variety in Spain but it is hardly a household name. In Utiel-Requena a region where it reigns supreme it seems to over deliver for the price. Grown on a hot site at almost 1000 metres it has the gloss and fruit you would expect, a dash of oak and a slim finish with enough acidity to get your nose back into the glass. Produced from the oldest Bobal vines on the Fuenteseca estate the fruit is organic. It was perfect with a beef pasta dish. Good value.
