2019 Bobal, Vega Moragona, Vinas de Casas de Haro, Ribera del Júcar
Bobal, in case you're wondering is the grape variety. Native to Spain, its name comes from the Latin 'Bovale' meaning bull's head in reference to the tightly bunched clusters of grapes it produces. Great levels of acidity, deep and dark in colour, excellent structure and intense black cherry flavour make this an immensely pleasurable wine and at this price, one you can enjoy any time you time you'd like.
Vega Moragona was founded in 1958 by 60 local growers. Its cooler climate lends itself to wines of higher quality than those produced in neighboring La Mancha, the primary reason for splitting from the older designation. Lighter yields from bobal, a native variety, is particularly well suited to the location, producing elegant expressions of the variety with plenty of fruit character.
Tasting note:
A native Spanish varietal that is deeply coloured, rich, yet showing impressive freshness and acidity for a beautifully structured red dominated by exuberant, black cherry fruit. An immensely pleasurable, easy-drinking regional red that goes deliciously with all red meats and charcuterie. Anytime.
Critic review:
"This is a big, youthful wine with plenty of sweet fruit to balance the generous dry tannins. Substantial drive at the bold finish." 90 points, James Suckling (previous vintage)
