MÓN Bobal Centenario

New vintage of this first red wine made at the Montesanco Requena winery, our most emblematic wine and the one that inspired our Montesanco project within the framework of a sustainable philosophy of recovering old vines of native varieties.

Slightly more rainy than average. Sprouting began in early May in a homogeneous manner and with good development due to a rainy and cool April. Ripening was slow and lasted until the end of September. As a result of storms at the end of August and beginning of September, the grapes were harvested in mid-October.

100% Bobal from goblet-trained, dry-farmed vines over 100 years old at an altitude of 731 meters with a mixed clay-limestone soil and a yield per vine of 1 kg. Organic and biodynamic vineyards from a plot of 4.5 hectares located on a small hill. The grapes were harvested in the second half of October.

The grapes are harvested at optimum maturity. Alcoholic fermentation takes place partially in French oak barrels and the wine is then racked into new French oak barrels where malolactic fermentation takes place and the wine is aged for 14 months with “bâtonnage”.

• Color: High layer and intense ruby color.
• Nose: Ripe red fruits predominate along with Mediterranean balsamic aromas such as lavender and a mineral background.
