Red Wine Pasión de Bobal 2021
Availability: In stock
Produced in DO Utiel-Requena, the red wine Pasión de Bobal is made solely from Bobal, a little-known native grape variety that is arousing a growing interest among wine lovers.
The grapes were sorted from over 60-year-old organically farmed vines planted at altitudes over 900 metres.
Harvested in late October, once in the premises of Bodega Sierra Norte the grapes were cold-soaked and then this Spanish red wine fermented under low temperature.
After that, the red wine Pasión de Bobal 2021 went through malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels. Finally, this vegan red wine was aged for 6 months. The wine was gently fined before bottling.
Pair this red wine from Utiel-Requena with meat dishes and cured cheeses.
Appearance | The red wine Pasión de Bobal is deep ruby with some purplish glints. |
---|---|
Nose | This varietal Bobal suggests some juicy, expressive notes of red and black fruit, underpinned by notions of bitter herbs, licorice and dry earth. |
Palate | Savoury and sinewy, with a crisp acidity and ripe tannins. Blackberries mulberries, blue flowers and some earthy and herbal remembrances. This wine of Bodega Sierra Norte has a long, fresh finish. |
Our personal opinion | Bodega Sierra Norte has done an excellent job with the red wine Pasión de Bobal 2021. Once you get to know the Bobal grape, it definitely stays with you. |
