Bodegas Sentencia El Indulto Bobales Ancianas 2021
Utiel-Requena, Valencia and Murcia, SpainAlberto Pedrón comes from a long line of vine growers in Los Pedrones, a village of fewer than 200 inhabitants in the comarca of Utiel-Requena, Valencia. In 2006, a 6 hectare plantation that had been tended by Alberto’s father, grandfather and great-grandfather was scheduled to be scrubbed up, and he decided to take action. To save the vineyard and, by extension, a way of working and living, he resurrected the family bodega. This special organic Bobal comes from their oldest vineyards in red clay soils, and spent 9 months in used French barrels. Wild blueberry, boysenberry, scrubby resinous herbs flood a juicy, medium bodied palate, with earthy ferrous notes and pencil shavings woven throughout, and black tea tannins to frame through a spicy finish. Lovely freshness to this deeper wine, making it particular friendly with grilled meat / root veg.Tasted: 19 June 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $36.95 | 750ml | LCBO |
