Area of Production

Denominacion de Origen Utiel-Requena is located near the Mediterranean coast at an altitude between 650 and 1000 meters. The climate is warm with influences from the Mediterranean Sea and a very low rainfall. The soils are chalky-clay and poor, but the low production per hectare results in grapes of very high quality.

Grape Varieties

70% Bobal and 30% Tempranillo.

Winemaking

The two grape varieties are vinified separately. The blend of the varieties has fresh Bobal must added. The wine is then refermented in pressurised tanks using the Charmat-corto (short) technique, at a controlled temperature of 16º C until it reaches a maximum pressure of 2.5 bars. It is filtered using a ‘tangential isobar’ system then bottled with 2.5 bars of pressure and a touch of natural residual sugar from fresh Bobal must.

Tasting Note

Colour: Intense cherry red with violet tones and fine bubbles.

Aroma: Very fresh and fruity with aromas of banana, pear and apple with a subtle floral tone. Taste: Refreshing, fruity and young. The gas gives a creamy effect with red fruit aromas combined with a slightly sweet but fresh finish.

Serving Suggestions
