Bobal, the native grape of Utiel-Requena in Valencia, is experiencing a renaissance after decades in the shadows. Once valued mainly for blending, it is now producing elegant, terroir-driven wines with bright acidity, firm tannins, and notes of wild herbs, red and blue fruit—thanks to dedicated producers like Vera de Estenas, Pago de Tharsys, and Bodega y Viñedos Carres. Resilient old vines, unique high-altitude terroirs, and modern winemaking are putting Bobal firmly on the list of Spain’s most exciting varieties to watch.
