Bodegas Volvar, Madame Bobalú, Bobal, Valencia Spain

100% Bobal                                         

D.O. Valencia

Vintage:  Qualified as excellent. Characterised by scarce rain in Spring and September. Great temperature range in the last weeks of August and the beginning of September lent itself to slow ripening of the Bobal.

Vineyard:   Located in the interior of Valencia with a Mediterranean climate with traces of continental due to the altitude. Lime soils. Average age of the vine is 25 years.

Production:  The harvest takes place when the ripening of the grape is at its optimal, usually during the first days of Autumn. Fermentation in vats, malolactic fermentation in steel vats and then 6 months in French barrels.

Analysis: Brilliant ruby colour. In the nose crystallised fruit, sweet and subtly toasted spices thanks to the time spent in the barrel. Medium intensity in the mouth with a balanced tannin.
