Utiel-Requena, Valencia · Spain100% Bobal Pasión de Bobal 2022 is an organic, old-vine red from Utiel-Requena—home to one of Spain’s most under-the-radar native grapes. Bobal has long been overlooked, often used for bulk production. From old vines and the right sites, it tells a different story: deeply colored, vibrant reds with natural freshness and character. Why Try It? Because Bobal deserves a second look. From 60-year-old vines at 920 meters, where cooler nights preserve freshness and structure, this is a bold yet energetic red. Dark fruit meets lift, with a profile that feels both generous and grounded. Blackberry, plum, and dark cherry lead, supported by subtle spice and a touch of vanilla from six months in French oak. Smooth tannins give the wine depth without weight. A Mediterranean red that’s expressive—but easy to understand.
