Grape variety: 100% Bobal

Production: not specified

Origin: DO Utiel-Requena, single vineyard “Olivastro” in Casas de Eufemia (Requena)

Vineyard: Over 100-year-old bush vines, traditionally cultivated by the third generation. Sustainable agriculture in harmony with nature, without artificial irrigation (rain-fed agriculture).

Soils: Clay-limestone soils

Orientation: not explicitly specified

Climate: Mediterranean climate with low annual rainfall (<200 mm); 2022 was a typical vintage with markedly hot summer months and dry conditions, which contributed to full ripeness and concentration.

Vinification: Hand-picked, spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, gentle vinification with minimal intervention. Aging in used French barriques to preserve the primary fruit aromas of the Bobal grape.

Maturation: Aging in second-use French oak barriques

Alcohol content: 14% vol (labeled)

Tasting Note: Intense ruby red with violet reflections. On the nose, aromas of ripe red fruits such as raspberry and blackberry are complemented by delicate roasted and smoky notes. On the palate, harmonious, round, and balsamic with a toasted aftertaste; long-lasting with a fresh, fruity finish.

Food pairing: Ideal with grilled meat, game dishes, braised roasts, and mature hard cheeses. Aging-friendly – it develops positively over the years in the bottle.
