Cerro Gallina Bobal

The Bobal is usually used for rosé wines. Because the red versions can sometimes be a bit clumsy and boring. Unless that red Bobal comes from a small, unique vineyard with 60 to 90 year old vines. Discovered by oenologist Santiago Vernia and the Spanish 'wine professor' José Luis Hidalgo. They don't pick more than one and a half kilos from a stick. And let the super-concentrated juice mature for a year and a half in new French oak.

Dark red. Smells of blackberries, red cherries, overripe plums and a shy violet. You taste a lot of strength but also lively acidity. Cherries and ripe blackberries. Spicy minerality. Probably the best red Bobal in Spain.
