Vicente Gandia Bobal Negro

Vicente Gandía Bobal Negro - Utiel-Requena, Valencia, Spain

Producer's Notes: 

This wine has an intense red colour and purple rim. Aromas of rich red fruits and English caramel with slight smoky notes. On the palate it well rounded and full, finishing with light notes of oak from its barrel ageing.

What we say:

Deep crimson with a violet rim, this concentrated red offers aromas of ripe red and black berries, wild herbs and delicate florals, layered with caramel, sweet spice and a lightly smoky oak character. Full and generous on the palate, it combines rich fruit with fresh acidity, firm but polished tannins and a lingering, savoury finish.

Produced from 100% Bobal grown in high-altitude vineyards approaching 900 metres, Bobal Negro is made with a cool pre-fermentation maceration to capture the grape’s colour and aromatic intensity. A portion undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrel, followed by approximately 12 months in lightly toasted French oak, adding structure and complexity without overwhelming the fruit.
