Bobal Icon [Organic] 2023

DO Manchuela, Spain

Bobal (100%) · 2023 · 13.5% abv

Deep ruby with intense aromas of dark berries, violets, and spice. The palate is plush yet precise, showing ripe black fruit, mineral undertones, and refined tannins. A long, structured finish captures Bobal’s signature balance of power and freshness.

Production

After careful hand-harvesting and selection, grapes undergo cold maceration before fermentation at 20 °C. The wine spends ~18 days on skins before malolactic fermentation and 7 months in new 220 L French oak, followed by 12 months in bottle.

Vinyard

From 80-year-old organically farmed vines planted at 780 m in limestone-rich soils within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Cool nights, warm days, and meticulous low-intervention viticulture create fruit of exceptional purity and depth.

Pairing

Ideal with charcoal-grilled beef, BBQ ribs, or roasted aubergine with harissa. Its balance of richness and structure also works with slow-cooked lamb or manchego croquetas.
