Finca los Halcones Crianza [Organic] 2021

DO Manchuela, Spain

Bobal (100%) · 2021 · 14.5% abv

Intense garnet in the glass with blackberry, pepper, and dried herb aromas. The palate is full and rounded, showing ripe red fruit, spice, and fine tannins, leading to a persistent, harmonious finish.

Production

Hand-harvested fruit undergoes a 5-day cold soak, then ferments for 18 days at 22 °C. Ageing occurs in 225 L new French oak barrels for 14 months, followed by 14 months in bottle. The wine is bottled unclarified to preserve texture and depth.

Vineyard

Planted in 1950 at 780 m on limestone and chalk soils, these old Bobal vines thrive in a climate moderated by river breezes and diurnal shifts. Organic farming practices and minimal inputs enhance fruit character and terroir expression.

Pairing

A classic partner for slow-braised game, venison ragù, or rich mushroom stews. Also excellent with roasted lamb or hard, mature cheeses.
