"Indigenous grapes giving a unique, low yield expression"
Old Vine Bobal
The Bobal grape is the prominent grape of the D.O.P. Utiel-Requena region from where it originates. With vigorous skin and the ability to withstand drought, the vines and their grapes thrive in the dry climate of Utiel-Requena. The combination of Mediterranean and Continental conditions, which may be too extreme for many grape varieties, is one in which Bobal finds itself at home, and has led to Utiel-Requena being declared a Denominación de Origen Protegida.
Bobal is characterized by deep and elegant aromas, and even after oak aging, it maintains its intense violaceous red color. You will also enjoy flavors of velvety dark fruit, a good acidity with chewy tannins and moderate levels of alcohol.
Old vine Bobal wines express the unique characteristics of the variety and the terroir in which it is grown. The old-vine low yields promise concentration of rich and intense fruit flavors, additional layers of aroma and texture contributing to complexity in the wine, firm tannins and acidity, providing the wines with a good structure which contributes to the wine´s aging potential and overall balance.
Scientific studies have shown that Bobal contains one of the highest levels of resveratrol, powerful antioxidants, with anti-inflammatory characteristics that help the immune system, to be found in any grape variety. It also contains high concentrations of flavonoids, a natural polyphenol that acts like an antioxidant. Both substances are celebrated for the potential health benefits they bring to wine.
Old Vine Macabeo
The Macabeo grape variety, also known as Viura in La Rioja, is a native Spanish grape variety which demonstrates a great expression in the heights of the D.O.P. Utiel-Requena, gently buffeted by fresh breezes from the Mediterranean and warmed by the continental dry climate winds coming from inland.
Over time, the old vines develop a deep root system, leading to grapes with more complexity and depth of flavor, as well as greater ability to withstand periods of drought. Low yields offer high concentration of flavors, resulting in intense and complex wines. High levels of tannins are provided by the thick skins of old-vine Macabeo grapes, and optimally balancedsugar levels and acidity are a result of even and full ripening, typical to these old vines.
Naturally abundant in glycerin, this grape, said to owe its name to the Biblical tribe of the Maccabees, makes fresh, crisp dry wines with beautiful fruit flavors.
