The riper fruit of the year has melded with developing earthy

Vera de Estenas, Utiel-Requena Bobal, 2024 SO030926 IL MARRONETO soil and patienceBobal is the leading grape in the picturesque, inland wine region of Manchuela, but is little known outside its limits. In the right hands, however, it can achieve true greatness, and at wallet friendly prices. This is organically farmed at altitude, yielding a wine with gentle structure, cool minerality, and ample, elegant fruit. It's dark fruited with notes of blackberry, boysenberry, warm spices, and Mediterranean sunshine. Pair with anything fresh
